The DC Circuit just handed President Trump a decisive victory and delivered a humiliating second writ of mandamus to Chief Judge James Boasberg, telling the activist jurist to butt out of national security decisions that are none of his business.
In J.G.G. v. Trump, the president rightly invoked the Alien Enemies Act to crush the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang—vicious criminals flooding American streets with murder, drugs, and terror—and start deporting these illegal invaders back where they belong. But Boasberg, the Obama-appointed leftist with a track record of judicial imperialism, couldn’t resist launching a contempt fishing expedition into high-level Executive Branch deliberations on foreign affairs and terrorism designations.
The appeals court eviscerated him
The appeals court eviscerated him. They ruled Boasberg’s probe was an outright “abuse of discretion” and an exercise in “antagonistic jurisdiction” that tramples the separation of powers. The president’s authority over diplomacy, border security, and protecting Americans from foreign threats isn’t up for meddling by some D.C. hack in a robe. The government had already identified the responsible officials, making Boasberg’s stunt even more pointless and malicious.
This wasn’t law—it was lawfare. Boasberg’s real aim was to harass the Trump administration, slow-walk deportations of dangerous aliens, and play politics from the bench like so many other activist judges desperate to stop Trump from delivering on his promises to secure the country.
One concurrence rightly called out the media circus hyping this nonsense, while the dissent predictably
One concurrence rightly called out the media circus hyping this nonsense, while the dissent predictably wailed about threats to the “republic”—as if letting Tren de Aragua thugs roam free is what keeps America strong. Spare us.
Judge Boasberg isn’t an impartial referee. He’s a rogue obstacle to justice, an unelected tyrant weaponizing the courtroom against a president elected to end the chaos at the border. The DC Circuit just put him back in his lane. Trump’s deportations must proceed full speed ahead—without interference from black-robed saboteurs. Enough is enough.
