The Justice Department once again refused to give Judge James Boasberg sensitive information in a case against Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
As White House advisor Stephen Miller pointed out on CNN, the Supreme Court previously ruled that any Alien Enemy Act removals by a US President are not subject to judicial review.
However, crazed Obama Judge Boasberg over the weekend ordered the Trump Administration to turn around planes that were deporting dangerous Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang members.
Later Sunday, the Trump DOJ provided an update to Boasberg’s order and said the criminal aliens were outside of US territory when the order came down.
The DOJ argued that the judge has zero jurisdiction over international airspace.
Judge Boasberg gave the Trump DOJ a Tuesday deadline to respond to his questions.
The judge demanded to know:
1) How many planes departed US on Saturday carrying anyone based on Proclamation;
2) How many people in each category;
3) What foreign country/countries did they landed;
4) Time took off & wear; time you contend left US air space; what time landed in each country; what time transferred into that countries custody
JUDGE: These are questions I want answers for & why you won’t me:

The Justice Department responded to Boasberg’s order on Tuesday and once again said they will not be disclosing sensitive information about national security in a public hearing.
“The Court also ordered the Government to address the form in which it can provide further details about flights that left the United States before 7:25 PM. The Government maintains that there is no justification to order the provision of additional information, and that doing so would be inappropriate, because even accepting Plaintiffs’ account of the facts, there was no violation of the Court’s written order (since the relevant flights left U.S. airspace, and so their occupants were “removed,” before the order issued), and the Court’s earlier oral statements were not independently enforceable as injunctions. The Government stands on those arguments,” the DOJ wrote in a response to the court order on Tuesday.
