DC Court of Appeals Bodies, Beats Down Obama Judge Boasberg for His Extrajudicial Unending "Investigation" Into Trump for Ignoring His Poorly-Worded and Also Illegal Order

SCOTUS Wire
@scotus_wire

2h

🚨 In a 2-1 vote, a D.C. Circuit panel has issued an extraordinary writ of mandamus, ordering Judge Boasberg to terminate his criminal contempt probe into the Trump administration's transfer of alleged Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador.

If you recall, Boasberg issued a (lawless) TRO blocking Trump from deporting criminal illegal Venezuelans to the CECOT prison in El Salvador. But Boasberg mis-drafted his order because the planes were already on their way. The TRO was then moot.


This made Boasberg angry so, on his own initiative and by his own "authority," Boasberg has been conducting a Star Chamber criminal investigation into Trump and his staffers.


Even worse, the Supreme Court later ruled that Boasberg had no authority to issue this order in any case. But the power-mad authoritarian continued his "investigations" into whether his order -- now ruled conclusively to have been lawless and void from the onset -- was "violated" by Trump anyway.

The order has been ruled illegal - but Boasberg insists on seeking criminal charges against people for violating his officially-illegal order anyway. He's taking the position: "I don't care if the order was illegal, Trump should have obeyed it anyway, and he should be punished for not Respeccing My Authoritah!"

By a vote of 2-1, an Appeals Court just ordered him to terminate these lawless proceedings.


A federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered an end to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's criminal contempt inquiry into Trump administration officials over last year's deportations of Venezuelans to El Salvador, delivering a second major rebuke to Boasberg and foreclosing further pursuit of the case.

In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted a writ of mandamus and directed that the contempt proceedings be "terminated," finding Boasberg, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, had committed a "clear abuse of discretion" by continuing to press forward A writ of mandamus is a rare and extraordinary order from a higher court directing a lower court or government official to stop exceeding their authority.

The panel that wrote the 122-page decision included Judges Neomi Rao and Justin Walker, both appointed by President Donald Trump, in the majority, and Judge J. Michelle Childs, appointed by former President Joe Biden, in dissent. The Washington Examiner contacted the Justice Department for comment.

"The district court proposes to probe high-level Executive Branch deliberations about matters of national security and diplomacy," the majority wrote. "These proceedings are a clear abuse of discretion, as the district court's order said nothing about transferring custody of the plaintiffs and therefore lacks the clarity to support criminal contempt based on the transfer of custody."

The order comes nearly one year after Boasberg found probable cause to hold the government in criminal contempt, accusing officials of failing to comply with his March directive to halt deportation flights carrying Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador, where many were sent to a maximum-security prison. The deported Venezuelans were illegal immigrants who were suspected of being members of Tren de Aragua, a violent transnational gang.

Boasberg had sought to determine whether officials, including then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, willfully violated that order and had moved toward referring the matter for criminal prosecution while continuing to gather evidence through hearings and testimony.


The Supreme Court ultimately overturned the underlying order from Boasberg that had blocked Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal immigrants suspected of gang membership. Boasberg, however, continued investigating whether the Trump administration had violated the order.

More from the decision, via Powerline:

More than a year ago, the President invoked the Alien Enemies Act against members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan criminal gang and foreign terrorist organization, and ordered that they be detained and removed from the United States. In a series of fast-moving events on March 15, 2025, the government placed a group of alleged gang members, including plaintiffs in this case, on planes to El Salvador. After the planes took off and left the country, the district court ordered the government not to remove the plaintiffs from the United States.

The Supreme Court vacated the district court's order because it was premised on a legal error and the plaintiffs' suit was brought in the wrong court.

I think that last part might be about these criminal illegals filing in friendly liberal district courts while ignoring the Immigration Courts that actually have jurisdiction over their cases. They did this again and again and the Supreme Court kept telling them that they had no original (first-dibs) jurisdiction in these cases, but could only enter the cases after an appeal.


Nonetheless, the district court threatened to hold government officials in criminal contempt unless they complied with the now-vacated order by, for instance, taking back custody of the plaintiffs. We issued a writ of mandamus vacating the court's first contempt order.

Undeterred, the district court is proceeding with criminal contempt for the government's decision to transfer the plaintiffs to the custody of El Salvador. To cooperate, the government identified then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem as the official responsible for the transfer decision. The district court previously said this was the only information it required to make a referral for prosecution. But the district court has now expanded its inquest and ordered hearings to extract more information from government counsel about exactly what happened last March. The government petitions for mandamus.

The widening gyre of the district court's investigation again calls for the extraordinary remedy of mandamus to halt the judicial "impairment of another branch in the performance of its constitutional duties." Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for D.C.,542 U.S. 367, 390 (2004) (cleaned up). The district court proposes to probe high-level Executive Branch deliberations about matters of national security and diplomacy. These proceedings are a clear abuse of discretion, as the district court's order said nothing about transferring custody of the plaintiffs and therefore lacks the clarity to support criminal contempt based on the transfer of custody. Moreover, the government has already provided the name of the responsible official, so further judicial investigation is unnecessary and therefore improper. In these circumstances, mandamus is appropriate to prevent the district court from assuming an antagonistic jurisdiction that encroaches on the autonomy of the Executive Branch.

"The pursuit of this improper investigation is a clear abuse of discretion." Judge Boasberg just got slapped down...again.

The walls are closing in on his crusade to jail Trump officials for DEPORTING Venezualan terrorists.

It's clear: time to impeach Rogue Judge Boasberg. 🧵

To review: last March, Judge Boasberg forced himself onto the "turn the planes around" case--just a few days after trying to foment a constitutional crisis at a Judicial Conference meeting.

He has spent the past year trying to jail prosecutors and cabinet Secretaries.

Today, the D.C. Circuit issued an opinion, once again, in the appeal on Boasberg's attempt (extrajurisdictionally) to hold officials in contempt.

The Court found Boasberg's "inquest" was both wrong on the law and a violation of our Separation of Powers.

Let's break it down.


The core holding is simple.

Criminal contempt requires a court order that is "clear and specific." The D.C. Circuit held this TRO was not. Why? Because the written order barred "removing" class members, but said nothing about transferring custody once the planes were already outside the United States.

The district court tried to transform an order about "removal" into an order about continued U.S. custody in El Salvador.

The D.C. Circuit said no: criminal liability cannot rest on what a judge later says he meant. It has to rest on what the order actually said at the time.

So, he mis-drafted his order but now wants to put people in jail for not having obeyed the order I meant to give, but did not in fact give because I am a sloppy partisan incompetent.


Judge Boasberg was mad he didn't get his way by halting the deportation of TDA terrorists.

He got shut down:

"In our constitutional system of government, criminal liability cannot turn on the unstated intentions (or post hoc assertions) of a district court judge."

The district court told the government it would issue a written order "so you don't have to race to write it down." The written order then superseded the oral remarks--and that written order did not bar what the district court later claimed it barred.

This is bigger than one case.

If this contempt theory had survived, any politically charged district judge could issue a rushed, muddy order, then later reinterpret it to threaten executive officials with prosecution. The D.C. Circuit put a needed stop to that.

Today's ruling is a win for due process, for separation of powers, and for the proposition that judges must follow the law too.

No vague order.
No post-hoc rewrite.
No judicial fishing expedition.
No contempt.

Time to move forward with impeachment.

With that said, you have to admit Trump has made some pretty stellar progress in stopping illegal immigration and deporting those he can. All it took was the will to try.

75 As I'd said earlier, "abuse of discretion" is what a judge gets when they ignore all law.
Because generally appeal courts will do everything they can to justify the discretion of trial judges (because they all used to be one).

It's basically, "you really kinda fucked up, you dumbass."

But to stack a mandamus on it?
Now it's into "you FUBARed it so bad, we don't even want to risk sending it back because you'll still try to fuck that grenade."

92 I think that last part might be about these criminal illegals filing in friendly liberal district courts while ignoring the Immigration Courts that actually have jurisdiction over their cases
——

I think it’s more about the relief sought being habeus petitions that have to be brought in the district where the aggrieved party is being held. There’s a reason ICE very quickly moves all these detainees to red jurisdictions: so the habeas petition has to be brought there. But these fuckstick mutants were bringing all the cases in friendly DC jurisdictions.

98 Maryland Democrats have rejected an effort to redraw the state’s congressional map to boost their party’s chances in the midterm elections, a setback for Gov. Wes Moore who put his clout behind the attempt to blunt President Donald Trump’s own redistricting campaign.

The clock officially ran out on the proposal late Monday night as the state legislative session ended, a casualty of internal party disagreements. In the end, the Maryland Senate left the bill in a committee, with Democrats who control the chamber concerned it could backfire under judicial review.

101 I believe that the shameless continuation of sketchy rulings after getting smacked down again and again is evidence that these lawless partisan judges are playing a different game. If they cared about public respect for their authority, then they would be more careful to not publicly exceed it over and over. Therefore, this isn't about their present authority -- and the likely alternative is staring us in the face.

It's about their future authority. They're auditioning for court-packing.

They're demonstrating their fitness for purpose for when the next Democrat President will expand the SCOTUS and stack it with hacks that will rubber-stamp xir every illegal and unConstitutional order. Boasberg isn't doing the district court thing wrong; he's auditioning for Chief Justice right.

105 The ludicracry of this assertion by Rao in the face of an order that very clearly prohibited translocation from America:
“The TRO did not clearly and specifically bar the government from transferring plaintiffs into Salvadoran custody,” Rao wrote. “The TRO therefore cannot support criminal contempt.”

Obvious distortion of judicial opinion here. Two Trump appointees deliberately remove judicial ban on Trump weaponizing legislative act misapplied to the ICE genocide. A blatant miscarriage of justice.

It ain’t Judge Boasberg overreaching. It’s Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and anyone else involved.

All it takes is one appeals court judge to request a vote on whether to rehear the case en banc in order to force a vote. If 6 of the 11 active justices on the court vote to rehear the case it will be reheard by all 11. Trump appointed just 3 of the 11. George HW Bush appointed 1 other one. The odds are pretty good for an 8-3 vote to rehear the case en banc.

Judge Rao is the one that Spartacus Booker tried to pin down on LGBTQ hires in her confirmation hearing.

"Have you ever hired a gay, lesbian, or transgender person as a clerk?"

She answered, "Uh, I've never been a judge, in fact that's the whole purpose of this hearing is to confirm me as one, so I've never, you know, hired or even HAD clerks."

Paraphrased in my folksy way, but that was the gist.

172 All it takes is one appeals court judge to request a vote on whether to rehear the case en banc in order to force a vote. If 6 of the 11 active justices on the court vote to rehear the case it will be reheard by all 11. Trump appointed just 3 of the 11. George HW Bush appointed 1 other one. The odds are pretty good for an 8-3 vote to rehear the case en banc.

The one thing that unites appellate-level judges is the herd instinct defense against repeated challenges to their authority by rogue district judges. Boasberg is the worst of that kind. Slapping him down with a mandamus writ is just a taste of what he can expect if he dares to appeal for an en banc hearing.

@KanekoaTheGreat
It's fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope.

Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd:

"We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice."

The account was deleted the day he was elected.

Posted by: Chuck Martel at April 14, 2026 06:20 PM (Dv3i1)

177 Marcus T Johnson is right.

The whole judiciary is lawless and doesn’t even follow its own made-up “rules” - this is hardly or perhaps even most egregious case in the last year+.

The Legal Cult cannot imagine (naturally) the only serious solution to this - repudiation. The damage to society and constitutional order extends far back before Boasberg, and encompasses subjects far beyond immigration.

But the will and wisdom to act are lacking.

183 I expect MS-NOW, et al to tell me the Trump or MAGA voters are tired of the Iran war and want Trump to focus on the economy. It pisses me off when Jesse Kelly says the same thing on his radio show. If you are presenting yourself as a voice for small government, then do some monologues on how any president trying to help the economy is setting the stage for a future commie president, and sooner or later there will be another one, to have more tools to sabotage the economy. Trump and his admin have already removed a lot of red tape. Removing stupid regulations is the only valid tool for a conservative Pres to "help the economy, improve affordability". And when the red tape removal is just via EO, and congress doesn't do its job and write legislation to tell the EPA that CO2 is not a pollutant, stick to your actual job, etc the next Donkey just slaps the binding tape back on.

184 To grasp how brazen and unconstitutional this inquiry by BonerBurger was, part of it seriously contemplated issuing subpoenas to Emil Bove--a sitting 6th Circuit Justice--and compelling him to divulge attorney-client communications.

No really.
All the news was reporting on this like it was matter-of-fact run-of-the-mill proceeding. No biggie.

And not a lowly district court judge ordering an appellate court justice to grovel before him and break all attorney ethics in his mad quest to bring down Trump.

I mean his head looks like a dick. Literally.

Looking at the opinion, What's most interesting is that the appellate court issued the writ. Often, as a courtesy, the writ is issued conditionally with polite language that it will only issue in the unlikely even the district court does not comply. Not here.

I've seen some home inspectors on YouTube showing off the results of that: walls that aren't square. Bubble levels have been a thing for hundreds of years. Laser ones have been a thing for 15 or 20 now. But they're selling people houses where the drywall is so bowed that you can't hang pictures or a TV.
