The article discusses a legal conflict between the Trump administration and federal courts revolving around the deportation of over 200 individuals. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg pressed a Justice Department lawyer for compliance with a previous ruling, amid the administration's claims of broad deportation authority under a wartime law. The administration's defiance, especially comments from border czar Tom Homan, indicates a potential clash with judicial orders, raising concerns over compliance with federal law and threats to judicial authority, potentially leading to a constitutional crisis.
The legal battle over removal of the immigrants was the latestâand perhaps most seriousâflashpoint yet between federal courts, which have sought to curb many of Trump's recent executive actions.
The hearing escalated a conflict between the White House and the courts that threatened to become a constitutional crisis as the Trump administration stonewalled the judge.
