“The Government evades its obligations again”: the war between Trump and the judge of deportations intensifies

The climbing in court was staged this Thursday, when Boasberg accused the government of “Evade your obligations again.” The judge has been demanding for days to the Trump administration to give information about the moment in which the flights took off and arrived in El Salvador, with the aim of determining whether the Government breached its orders: Boasberg ruled that the planes would turn around, but they did not.

After delaying it twice for the delays of government lawyers, the judge imposed the deadline of Thursday at noon to comply with that delivery of information. The government did it privately and it is evident that it did not meet the demands of the magistrate.

The letter delivered was “Sadly insufficient”the judge determined in his own car. The Trump administration did not give the required details and did not justify not doing so for reasons of executive privilege to maintain secrets.

Boasberg began to give the feeling of losing patience. He imposed a new deadline for the government to justify their opinion convincingly: next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the White House held this Thursday the extraordinary demand to bring Boasberg to an ‘impeachment’ or political trial, an unprecedented strategy to respond to a judicial decision against the interests of the government. This week, US president himself was the one who publicly demanded the ‘impeachment’ of Boasberg, which deserved a very unusual reaction by the Chief Magistrate of the Supreme Court, The conservative John Roberts, who reminded him that the way of facing a non -shared decision is to present an appeal, not try to expel the judge.

That warning of Roberts has not stopped the demands of the White House. One of his high positions, James Blair, defended on Thursday in ‘Politico’ the need to separate an “obviously party judge.” And also that, ultimately, it is up to the Congress to promote this process.

The first to take that step should be the president of the House of Representatives, who does the ‘instruction’ in these legislative trials. It’s about Mike Johnson, A very loyal Republican to Trump. Some of his party partners in the Senate have strongly criticized the possibility of an ‘impeachment’ to the judge. Senator John Kennedy, from Louisiana, has described him as “idiot.” John Cornyn, from Texas, has said that “a ‘impeachment’ is not made to judges who make decisions with whom you do not agree.”

Trump and Musk push the ‘impeachment’

But in the lower house, where the deputies play their seat every two years, the positions are much more attached to what Trump says. Johnson has opted for an intermediate position: he will contemplate “all available options,” said his spokesman in a community, to face the existence of “Activist judges”.

Other deputies, in the most extremist faction of Republicans, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, have supported the ‘impeachment’ without ambiguity. All of them will have the back of Trump’s right hand in his second term, Elon Musk.

The richest man in the world has been involved thoroughly in the campaign to throw this judge and others who are hindering Trump’s frantic executive agenda. He has done it with his speaker – the social network X, his property – and with his wallet, the deepest on the planet. Musk is delivering the maximum donations that allows the electoral law to the Republicans who have promoted or embraced the idea of ​​the ‘impeachment’.

“This is a court coup,” Musk wrote in X, where he has almost 220 million followers. “For more than two centuries,” he added in reference to American democracy, “there has never been such an extreme abuse of the legal system by activists who intend to be judges. Make them a ‘impeachment’ ».

Musk protested not only for the case of the judge of deportations. Also for other judicial blockages recent to Trump’s action: from the dismantling of the Development Agency USAID to the expulsion of the transgender people of the army.
