Another big win for the Trump Administration! You might remember back in April when Judge Boasberg issued a contempt ruling against the Trump Administration for deporting illegal alien criminals. Flash forward a few months and an Appeals Court has now stepped in to reverse the rogue judge and uphold the actions of the Trump Administration. In other words: BIG WIN! JUST IN: A federal court just OVERTURNED Judge Boasberg’s contempt ruling against the Trump administration for deporting criminal illegal aliens under the Alien Enemies Act. pic.twitter.com/CUfBcD8JGu — We The Media (@WeTheMedia17) August 8, 2025 You can read the full ruling here:  https://media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/docs/2025/08/25-5124-2129262.pdf I love Charlie Kirk’s summary:  “Boasberg embarrassed.  Deportations march on.” Exactly! BREAKING: The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia just vacated radical activist Judge Boasberg’s order holding the Trump admin in criminal contempt for deporting illegals using the Illegal Alien Enemies Act.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed what we’ve argued for months: Judge Boasberg’s attempt to sanction the government for deporting criminal-alien terrorists was a “clear abuse of discretion” — failed judicial overreach at its worst. We will continue fighting and WINNING in court for President Trump’s agenda to keep America Safe! Fox News has more details on the 2-1 ruling, which labeled the Trump Administration’s actions as “clearly not criminal”: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 Friday that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg cannot move forward with possible contempt proceedings against the Trump administration. The case involves the administration’s alleged violation of an emergency court order blocking the administration from using a 1798 law to summarily deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador — the latest in an evolving, high-stakes court clash that has played out for months in various courts. Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, two Trump appointees on the majority-Democrat bench, sided with the Trump administration Friday in blocking Boasberg’s contempt motion from moving forward. Judge Nina Pillard, an Obama appointee, dissented. The 2-1 ruling is all but certain to be appealed to the full court to be heard en banc, where the Democrat-majority bench is seen as more favorable to the plaintiffs, or directly to the Supreme Court for review. “The district court here was placed in an enormously difficult position,” Katsas said Friday, writing for the majority. “Faced with an emergency situation, it had to digest and rule upon novel and complex issues within a matter of hours. In that context, the court quite understandably issued a written order that contained some ambiguity.” Katsas noted that the appellate court ruling does not center on the lawfulness of Trump’s Alien Enemies Act removals in March, when administration officials invoked the 1798 immigration law to send more than 250 Venezuelan nationals to CECOT, the maximum-security prison in El Salvador. “Nor may we decide whether the government’s aggressive implementation of the presidential proclamation warrants praise or criticism as a policy matter,” he added. “Perhaps it should warrant more careful judicial scrutiny in the future. Perhaps it already has.” “Regardless, the government’s initial implementation of the proclamation clearly and indisputably was not criminal.” The ruling comes months after Boasberg originally found grounds to move on potential contempt proceedings in the case.
