U.S. District Judge James Boasberg warned that President Donald Trump could face criminal contempt charges. The warning comes after the Trump administration allegedly ignored orders regarding the deportation of over 200 Venezuelan immigrants, many with no criminal record.
White House Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka suggested that critics of Trump’s deportation policies, like Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s removal, could be “aiding and abetting terrorists,” presenting a controversial view on immigration opposition.
The Trump administration has been accused of ignoring court orders and deporting immigrants unlawfully, raising concerns about constitutional rights and the due process protections that apply to individuals detained in the U.S.
