U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has issued an opinion stating that he’s found probable cause that the Trump administration was in criminal contempt by refusing to comply with his order prohibiting certain deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
“The Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions … demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt,” Boasberg said in an April 16 opinion.
He said the government would have the opportunity to “purge” its contempt by complying with his order.
Boasberg’s order came after the Supreme Court vacated his orders and said the case was brought in the wrong court.
“The fact that the Supreme Court determined that this Court’s TROs suffered from a venue defect does not affect—let alone moot—the compliance inquiry presently teed up here,” he said.
