Department of Justice filed a complaint against federal judges on misconduct handling cases of eviction
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Justice Department filed a complaint of misconduct against a federal judge on Monday that clashed with President Donald Trump’s administration against El Salvador’s infamous prison.
Attorney General Pam Bondi escalates the administration and U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg on social media
Boasberg allegedly told Chief Justice John Roberts and other federal judges that the complaint stems from speech and that the administration will trigger a constitutional crisis by ignoring the federal court’s ruling.
The complaints said the comments “undermine the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary” and added that the government “always comply with all court orders.” Boasberg was one of several judges who questioned whether the government complied with its orders.
The meeting took place a few days before Boasberg issued an order to block deportation flights, with Trump citing orders conducted by wartime authorities from 18th-century law.
The judge’s verbal order rejected the plane to El Salvador. After that, Boasberg discovered the possible reasons for the government’s temp to see the court.
These comments were allegedly presented at the Judicial Conference meetings of the governing bodies of the federal judiciary. The remarks were first reported by federalists, a conservative website, which said it had obtained a memo to summarize the meeting.
Boasberg is the chief judge of the U.S. District Court and a member of the Judicial Conference. Its meetings are not public.
The complaint requires an investigation, and when the investigation continues, the deportation case is reassigned to another judge and sanctions, including the possible recommendation of impeachment, if the investigation proves the charge.
Trump himself has called on Boasberg’s impeachment, which in turn prompted Roberts to reject the call.
The complaint was filed with Judge Srinivasan, Chief Justice of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
Earlier this month, more than 250 Venezuelans will be deported to large prisons in El Salvador, known as the terrorist incarceration center or Cecot, and were sent back to Venezuela earlier this month. The deal is also free, the deal is also free, and the agreement is free, with 10 U.S. citizens and permanent residents held by Venezuela.
But lawsuits regarding deportation and government responses to Boasberg’s orders remain in his court.
