In another embarrassing moment for woke Judge James Boasberg, a three-judge panel from the DC appellate court put a hold on his insane plan to extend legal protections designed for American citizens to deported Tren de Aragua members.
For context, Judge James Boasberg became infamous after he used his power to block Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gangsters in a dramatic case of judicial overreach. One of many activist judges, Boasberg came to symbolize the significant issues with the judiciary to many conservatives.
In any case, Julie Keppy posted her description of the events to X on June 11, 2025. She noted “Another strike out for Jeb Boasberg. Yesterday a 3-judge panel (all Trump appointees) of DC appellate court put a hold on his latest gambit to give “due process” rights to illegal Venezuelans tied to Tren de Aragua incarcerated in El Salvador terror prison.”
Posting a screenshot of the legal decision, she reported “Upon consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal and an administrative stay, it is ORDERED that those portions of the district court’s order entered on June 4, 2025, granting in part appellees’ motion for a preliminary injunction, granting in part their motion for class certification, and ordering appellants to file a notice by June 11, 2025, be administratively stayed pending further order of the court.”
Continuing the demolition of the woke DNC judge, the panel wrote, “The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures 33 (2024).”
Concluding the epic demolition, the document stated, “It is FURTHER ORDERED that appellees file a response to the emergency motion by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 16, 2025. Any reply is due by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.”
Continuing her post, she wrote, “I guess Boasberg’s dramatic Kafkaesque description of the plight of illegal Venezuelan gang bangers did not impress 🙄,” before posting the melodramatic section of Boasberg’s initial ruling.

The woke judge wrote, “One morning, Kafka’s Josef K. awakens to encounter two strange men outside his room. As he gets his bearings, he realizes that he is under arrest. When he asks the strangers why, he receives no answer. “We weren’t sent to tell you that,” one says. “Proceedings are under way and you’ll learn everything in due course.” Franz Kafka, The Trial 5 (Brett Mitchell trans., Schocken Books 1998).”
Continuing you flatter himself, the judge stated, “Bewildered by these men and distressed by their message, K. tries to comfort himself that he lives in “a state governed by law,” one where “all statutes [are] in force.” Id. at 6. He therefore demands again, “How can I be under arrest?” And in this manner: “Now there you go again,” the guard replies. “We don’t answer such questions.” Undeterred, K. offers his “papers” and demands their arrest warrant. “Good heavens!” the man scolds. “There’s been no mistake.” “Of [our] department,” he assures K., is only “attracted by guilt,” it “doesn’t seek [it] out. … That’s the Law.” “I don’t know that law,” K. responds. “You’ll feel it eventually,” the guard says.”
Connecting this banal reference to the case at hand, Boasberg wrote, “Such was the situation into which Frengly Reyes Mota, Andy Jose Hernandez Romero, and scores of other Venezuelan noncitizens say they were plunged on March 15, 2025. In the early morning hours, Venezuelans held by the Department of Homeland Security at El Valle Detention Facility in Texas were awakened from their cells, taken to a separate room, shocked, and informed that they were being transferred.”
