In an epic legal filing, just the latest part of the Trump Administration’s case against woke Judge James Boasberg, the president’s cabinet demolished the judge with his own words. Firing back at the deep-state official for blocking the deportation of illegal immigrant gangsters, the filing made him look like a fool.
For context, Judge James Boasberg is one of several activist judges who defied the Constitution to block the Trump administration from deporting illegal immigrants. Despite these constant roadblocks, the president has fought these biased judges in court to save America.
Such was shown when a user on X posted part of the court order related to Boasberg’s deportation freeze. Margot Clevland, who works for the Federalist Institute, posted the documents on May 2, 2025, reporting, “El Salvador is a sovereign, independent nation, with its own domestic law and international obligations governing the detention of individuals. El Salvador makes its own sovereign decisions, including with respect to the detention.”
Adding to this strong defence, the document provided the legal justification for sending illegals to the Central American nation. The read, “El Salvador makes its own decisions regarding detentions…And any bilateral arrangement there may be between the United States and El Salvador is not an enforceable agreement that somehow allows the United States to retain some degree of jurisdiction or control over these individuals. Indeed, the “corrective machinery specified in the [agreement] itself is nonjudicial.”…The prisons are operated exclusively by the Salvadoran government, which has its own law and procedures.”
Continuing to prove the legality of Trump’s deportations, the letter said, “Petitioners’ primary evidence that the United States has custody comes from a handful of vague statements by a few officials that the United States is paying El Salvador to detain Petitioners…. In related contexts, public statements by officials have not been credited as evidence of the purpose behind an executive policy.
Pivoting to the woke judge, the incisive document used Boasberg’s words to undermine his case. It declared, “Moreover, Petitioners’ position is at odds with this Court’s interpretation of its own TRO. This Court interpreted its TRO enjoining the government from “removing members of [the] class” to prohibit “transferring class members into another country’s custody.”…The Court then found probable cause that the government violated that order by “transferring class members out of U.S. custody.'”
Continuing the epic attack, the filing read, “So the Court ordered the government to ‘purge’ contempt, namely by asserting custody of the individuals.” …Petitioners defend the Court’s interpretation, findings, and order on appeal. Yet the Court’s order already established that Respondents do not have custody over Petitioners, El Salvador does. If the United States retained custody, as Petitioners now insist, then it could not have violated the Court’s order.”

Completing the rhetorical destruction, the filing continued to use Boasberg’s remarks to sink his argument. The letter stated, “Nor could the government ‘purge’ the putative contempt by asserting custody over Petitioners if it always had custody to begin with…Petitioners cannot have it both ways. This Court, the United States, and even the Petitioners realize the reality: the government does not have custody of the Petitioners in CECOT, the separate sovereign nation of El Salvador does.”
