In March 2025 Judge Boasberg put a 14-day freeze on [[President Trump]]'s deportation of [[Venezuela]]n nationals—including [[Tren de Aragua]] [[terrorist]]s—using a 1798 law, ordering any mid-flight deportation planes to U-turn back to [[U.S.]] soil. President Trump wrote on [[Truth Social]]: "He is a local, unknown Judge, a Grandstander, looking for publicity, and it cannot be for any other reason, because his 'Rulings' are so ridiculous, and inept." In the administration's view Boasberg's rulings aren't just misguided—they're a power grab, "doing everything in his power" to usurp the presidency itself. | In March 2025 Judge Boasberg put a 14-day freeze on [[President Trump]]'s deportation of [[Venezuela]]n nationals—including [[Tren de Aragua]] [[terrorist]]s—using a 1798 law, ordering any mid-flight deportation planes to U-turn back to [[U.S.]] soil.
