Yesterday, Judge James Boasberg, “found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt” over its deportation of migrants to El Salvador. In response, the Trump administration plans to seek “immediate appellate relief.” What will come from this ruling?

From Fox News. AĀ federal judgeĀ said Wednesday that he has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for failing to return two planes deporting migrants to El Salvador last month, a major update that comes as tensions between the Trump administration and the judiciary have reached a fever pitch.

Connect with others in your state in prayer.

 

In a 48-page order, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said that the court had determined that the Trump administration had demonstrated a “willful disregard” for his March 15 emergency order, which temporarily halted all deportation flights to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 wartime immigration law, to allow the court to better consider the merits of the case.

Boasberg had also ordered all planes bound for El Salvador to be “immediately” returned to U.S. soil – which did not happen. …

“The Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt,” Judge Boasberg said Wednesday.

Boasberg instructed the government to file additional declarations by April 23 demonstrating why the court should “purge” any contempt proceedings against it. Should they fail to do so, he said, the court will refer the matter for potential prosecution.

That would involve identifying the individuals responsible for what the judge described as “contumacious conduct,” and “determining whose ā€˜specific act or omission’ caused the noncompliance,” Boasberg said in his order. …

“The Court does not reach such conclusion lightly or hastily; indeed, it has given Defendants ample opportunity to rectify or explain their actions,” Boasberg continued, noting that “none of their responses” have been satisfactory to the court.

The Trump administration wasted little time responding to the new court order.

“We plan to seek immediate appellate relief,” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said in a social media post Wednesday. …

The order is the latest development in the ongoing feud between Trump officials and Judge Boasberg, who drew the administration’s ire last month after temporarily blocking the deportation of certain migrants to El Salvador. …

I know God that this is a spiritual attach of the Devil using rogue judges to counter the President’s executive orders. I pray as we appeal to your heavenly court to give your judgement in this and in other cases where the president has every legal right.
I pray in Jesus’ name.

Another march up to the Supreme Court. I trust the administration to make its case and then to abide by the ruling of the Supreme Court.

Lord, we pray you’d remove these rogue judges from power who seek to keep America under the fear of criminals. Save us and give President Trump wisdom in how to legally defy them and put them in their rightful place.

    CONSERVATIVE JUDGE APPOINTED BY REAGAN!!!! Today a federal appeals court rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to stop Judge Paula Xinis’s order that it ā€œtake all available stepsā€ to bring Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. ā€œas soon as possible.ā€ …..Then Wilkinson turned his focus on the Trump administration. ā€œIt is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter,ā€ he wrote. ā€œBut in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done. This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.ā€
    ā€œThe government asserts that Abrego Garcia is a terrorist and a member of MS-13. Perhaps, but perhaps not. Regardless, he is still entitled to due process.ā€ The court noted that if the government is so sure of its position, then it should be confident in presenting its facts to a court of law. It is sick what people are posting on here, Trump is the one in the wrong, not the judges, Christians should know better.

      Mr. Garcia has had his due process. Twice, an immigration court determined that he should be deported due to his MS-13 membership. He is also here illegally. He has broken our laws and should be deported like anyone else who has done the same. So what that this judge is a conservative. He’s compromised. “Christians should know better”, really? Are we supposed to be crying crocodile tears for this guy? a gang member and wife beater.

In Jesus’ name we pull down the strongholds of collusion, subversion, corruption, and rebellion from empowering subversive Justices and judges to collude with rebellious attorney generals, and lawyers to unlawfully block President Donald J Trump’s Executive Orders. 2 Cor 10:4, Mat 18:18 In Jesus’ name mountain of subversive collusion be removed and be cast into the sea; let no colluding Justice, judge, attorney general, or lawyer eat fruit from you ever again. Mrk 11:14,23,24 In Jesus’ name we cast down subversive arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought by colluding Justices, judges, attorney generals, and lawyers into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Cor 10:5; Eph 6:12

In Jesus’ name we strike the shed blood of Jesus upon the lintel and 2 doorposts of every White House, Oval Room, and Mar-a-largo doorway. Ex 12:23 In Jesus’ name we bind collusion and subversion from stopping or suspending the lawful execution of President Donald J Trump’s Executive Orders. Mat 18:18

In Jesus’ name we declare that… Job 22:27-28
…the godly weapons of President’s Trump’s warfare are mighty in God for the destruction of the enemy’s strongholds. 2 Cor 10:5 …the Lord God shall execute His godly design for the government of the United States through His chosen elected officials. Acts 26:17-18; Gal 1:3-5 …that the enemies of the Lord will be dislodged, displaced, and scattered from their federal government hiding places, fleeing before Him. Ps 68:1 …the Lord shall order and establish His government and peace with judgment and justice in the United States. Isa 9:7

The Deep State is at work trying to subvert Executive authority by unelected hostile officials. The man sent out is an illegal alien, , not a US citizen and belonging to a MS-13 gang.

Praying for exposure of judges who utilize ” law fare”, and that they ALL will fall on their own swords and become ” impeached” and disbarred forever.
The invasion war we have been subject to is finally ending thanks to Donald Trump. Prayers for protection over Trump and his staff.
May the deported illegal immigrant criminals find Jesus for their redeemed life.

The comments here are sick and sinful. Nobody disputes the truth, not even the Trump administration, that this man was sent out of the country on an administrative error. He was allowed to be in this country and Trump clearly violates the law. It is not the judge who is corrupt but Trump. It is sick to support Trump in this situation. Imagine this was your son who was sent to another country to be tortured for no reason. Imagine it was your grandchildren who had to see their father sent away to be tortured over an error and you watched Christians defend a president who did nothing to end this. Just absolutely sick. And the word is sinful.

    As more information comes in, we find that the man in question was indeed an illegal alien, not a citizen, was a member of MS-13, and had been previously accused of spousal abuse. He is a citizen of the country in which he is now appropriately incarcerated.

      If ANY of that is true, then why not bring him back, put him on trial and let the world see that what Trump is doing is a good thing. But.. that won’t happen because neither you nor Trump want him on trial where the truth would come out. You know, Christians believe in a day of judgement where we will have to stand before Jesus and give an account of our life and the things we said and did.

    It absolutely is not sick for people to support this President for his actions. This is not an innocent father. He was credibly accused of being an MS 13 gang member and had a restraining order placed against him by his wife for violence against her. These gang members contribute to the death and misery of thousands of Americans with drugs and violence. Where is the compassion for your fellow citizens? Instead you come on wagging your finger at people like myself who are so glad to have an answer to prayers with a President who is actually doing something about this.

      Jeff B
      April 18, 2025

      He was NOT credibly accused of being a gang member. And again, if you believe that, bring him back, give him a trial, that would be the just thing to do. The judge did nothing wrong here, Trump has. And to say otherwise is sick. I am an Evangelical Christian. I work with people from all over the world, I talk about Jesus, talk about my faith, have conversations with people all the time about Jesus. When my Evangelical Christian friends that support Trump join in, the conversation is over because Evangelicals supporting Trump are simply not seen as intelligent, serious people. Outsiders can see that it is obvious that supporting morally corrupt president is contrary to the Bible. Judgement is coming for compromising the gospel to support Trump. The scandal of the gospel is believing in resurrection, not supporting immoral politicians.

Thank you, Lord, for this glowing testimony, for upholding Jack Phillips with your righteous right hand, & showing the world again that no weapon formed against him ( or any of your children ) shall succeed in the name of Jesus!

We ask you to uproot them, dissolve their sense of entitlement & authority & reveal to them whose really in command by bringing them under submission & obedience to the name of Jesus Christ. Amen & Amen!

Lord, you know that this judge wanted this case and requested it, because it was supposed to be assigned to a different judge. I ask you, the Lord of all, to change his heart and make it a heart centered on you and Your will. Please protect President Trump from rogue judges.

I pray this in Jesus name.

Father, we know that these rogue judges, these anti American judges are nothing but the manifestation of demons. Father, I pray right now that a heavenly court restraining order would be placed upon all of them and that they would be restrained from doing anything against your will and the will of our President and the good of America.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare (1 Timothy 1:18)

There are many strong prophecies by strong prophets. We can war with those prophecies especially the ones about JUDGES and the SUPREME COURT JUDGES.
I decree God’s will over these judges by His own Rhema prophetic words, these evil judges will step down or be taken down, all in Jesus name!

Lots of good comments here.

I am almost afraid to write anything for fear of saying something I would regret about our justice system and Mr. Boasberg in general. He and many persons like him are the reason our justice system and many other things in the federal system are so messed up. Things are so deeply entrenched that it is taking very strong wills and very concerted efforts to return our government to the intentions of our founding Fathers.
Please God help us all.

Lord of all creation and Judge of the whole earth – You hear our cries for justice and righteousness to prevail in our nation. Case in point, judge Boasberg and our court system that has been weaponized to serve evil agendas – please grant strategies to SCOTUS, Congress, legal teams, and any others You can mobilize to deal with this issue and activate them. We need a drastic overhaul!!

Where is Congress? Boasberg needs to be removed from office due to malfeasance. Impeachment is impossible due to the Democrats’ own malfeasance (lockstep political voting regardless of the merits), RINOS, and the necessity of a 2/3 vote. Removal due to malfeasance requires a simple majority.

29

    Judicial ethics committees? Who will be the first to file a complaint against Boasberg, looking toward removal from the bench and possible disbarment. Typically, the complainant must have “standing” in the case.

This court case is a moot point. The criminal is back in his home country incarcerated.
USA has no more jurisdiction. El Salvador does not plan to give up this citizen/prisoner. The case is now in the absurd realm. Stop it now!

This looks like another issue that needs to be adjudicated by SCOTUS. When this takes place, Lord Jesus, I pray for Your will to be done. I also pray for this misguided Judge Boasberg. Please, Lord, by Your grace, set him free from the delusion that he can adjudicate the actions of POTUS. Thamnk you Jesus.

    One of the reasons is, most likely, because his daughter works for an NGO that aids and abets illegal aliens. He also, like all the rogue judges, hate President Trump.

      April 18, 2025

      SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts wrote recently that impeachment is not appropriate for judge Boasberg. There are at least two judges with compromised status, one being NY state judge Marchan with his daughter working for a NGO, and judge Boasberg with his daughter working for a NGO. Conflict of interest, bias from the bench, unprofessional conduct seem to be reasonable criteria to impeach both of those judges NOW. Roberts isn’t the “brightest bulb in the string” anyway….also compromised.

    Amen acvording to our constitution only the President has the power of the Executive Branch decisions. The judge only has power over his district and not over the executive branch of the US Government. Thank You LORD for turning hearts of Government Officials to obey the Constitution which theyswore to uphold. Cause them to be reminded of what it says. Please remove any who willfully and knowingly desire to ignore our Constitution.
