Federal Judge Considers Contempt Proceedings Against Trump Administration Over Deportation Flights

A federal judge, James Boasberg, has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for failing to comply with court orders regarding deportation flights. This follows accusations that the administration disregarded legal directives concerning the deportation of migrants, particularly those from El Salvador and Venezuela. Judge Boasberg has indicated that he may move forward with criminal contempt proceedings, further escalating the conflict between judicial authority and executive power. As legal scholars analyze the implications, the administration could face significant repercussions if found guilty of contempt.
