DOGE v. The Constitution

🔴 UPDATE: April 16, 2025

Judge Finds Probable Cause to Hold Trump Administration in Criminal Contempt

The regime has crossed a dangerous new line. A federal judge just found probable cause to hold Trump officials in criminal contempt for willfully defying a court order halting mass deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. The ruling marks a pivotal escalation in the war between the White House and the judiciary—and a direct warning that not even a president is above the Constitution.

Judge James Boasberg blasted the administration for its “willful disregard” of a March 15 order blocking deportation flights to El Salvador. The flights, part of Trump’s sweeping plan to remove hundreds of alleged gang members—many of whom were never charged with a crime or given a chance to prove their innocence—continued anyway. Even as the judge demanded the planes return, the migrants were dumped into a notorious prison abroad.

Now, Boasberg is giving the regime a chance to “purge” its contempt by restoring due process rights to those it wrongfully exiled. If it refuses, he will order criminal prosecution of the officials responsible.

Key Developments:

• Judge James Boasberg found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for defying his March 15 court order blocking deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act.
  Sources: AP News, Reuters

• The administration knowingly allowed two planes carrying deportees to reach El Salvador after the judge ordered them turned around. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele mocked the ruling online, saying, “Oopsie... too late.”

• Boasberg said the regime’s excuses—that the planes had left U.S. airspace and his oral order wasn’t binding—“require ignoring the clear context in which the Order was issued” and reflect “willful disobedience.”

• The judge warned that unless the administration “purges” its contempt by restoring due process rights to those deported, he may refer the matter for prosecution. If DOJ refuses, he will appoint a special prosecutor.

• Boasberg emphasized that the Supreme Court’s later ruling—which lifted his temporary block—did not erase the administration’s prior defiance while the order was still in effect.

• Trump’s team has signaled it will seek immediate appellate relief, while continuing to accuse Boasberg of judicial overreach.

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?

This isn’t law and order—it’s lawlessness in a tailored suit. Trump defied a judge, deported people he had no legal right to deport, and mocked the court’s authority when caught. Some of those migrants are now locked in one of the world’s most infamous prisons. Many have never even been accused of a crime.

This is what happens when the rule of law gets in the way of a fascist regime’s agenda. They don’t pause. They plow through. And they dare the courts to stop them.

🔍 Why This Matters:

A federal judge just warned the administration that criminal contempt charges are coming unless they obey the law. That’s not a technicality—it’s a constitutional crisis. If the courts let this slide, it sends a message: the regime can ignore the judiciary with impunity.

🚨 The Bottom Line:

Trump ordered mass deportations, defied a judge, and laughed about it while innocent people were locked away. Now, a court has declared that this wasn’t a misunderstanding—it was criminal. The question now isn’t whether the regime broke the law. It’s whether the law still applies to them.
