Two things: First, the judge who issued this ruling is insane. Second, at least the Department of Justice is helmed by a Trump appointee who wasted no time filing an emergency motion. A Republican congressman even declared that impeachment articles will be filed against Judge James Boasberg, who hilariously tried to make himself lord protector last night, at least when it comes to deporting violent Venezuelan gangs that the Trump administration has designated foreign terrorists.
An Obama judge. This is unbelievable.https://t.co/Cw8DaAFqbQ

As we noted last night, Judge Boasberg halted these orders, demanding that deportation flights that were wheels up return to the United States. This man is a district judge, talk about overreach. The Trump administration invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to accelerate mass deportations (via The Hill):
A federal judge expanded his ruling temporarily blocking the Trump administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 on Saturday preventing the removal of Venezuelan undocumented immigrants presumed to be members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
The order issued by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg will halt deportations for all individuals deemed eligible for removal under President Trump’s proclamation for 14 days as a result of the lawsuit filed by Democracy Forward and the ACLU.
“I think there’s clearly irreparable harm here given these folks will be deported,” Boasberg said at the virtual Saturday hearing.
“A brief delay in their removal does not cause the government any harm,” said Boasberg, an appointee of President Obama.
[…]
“Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States,” Boasberg told Justice Department officials.
Y’all might remember Judge Boasberg as the Obama-appointed judge who sentenced Kevin Clinesmith — the Trump-Russia figure who pleaded guilty to improperly altering a CIA email to help obtain FISA surveillance against Carter Page — to just one year of probation and no prison time. https://t.co/T5AvPjxKh7 pic.twitter.com/vjVrYbTvwN

Who the hell is this guy? Well, he has Russian collusion skeletons in his closet. Attorney General Pam Bondi filed an emergency motion to block this insane ruling, which leads to terrorists being flown back to the US:

AG Pam Bondi and her team filed with the DC Circuit an emergency motion to pause DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg's illegal order sabotaging the presidency.

The President of the United States correctly designated Tren de Aragua (TdA), a vicious Venezuelan gang, as a foreign-terrorist organization.
The President correctly put these terrorists on planes to get them the hell out of our country.
Yet DC Obama Judge James Boasberg…
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) said he would file impeachment articles:

Either way, these district judges are out of control.
