Appeals court again blocks Boasberg contempt probe into Alien Enemies Act deportations - Politico

An appeals court has again blocked a contempt probe initiated by Judge James Boasberg regarding deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. This ruling prevents Boasberg from proceeding with an inquiry into whether the Trump administration violated his prior orders concerning these specific deportations. The decision marks a continued legal challenge to judicial oversight of the administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act. This act, rarely invoked, allows for the summary removal of non-citizens from countries with which the U.S. is at war. The appeals court's consistent intervention indicates a significant legal battle over the scope of judicial authority in immigration matters during wartime.
