In a brazen display of defiance, #Trump’s #DOJ filed papers less than two hours before the 5PM hearing, telling Judge James E. #Boasberg that there was no reason for anyone to come to court because the administration was not going to provide any further information about the #deportation flights.

In another remarkable move, the DOJ wrote a letter to the federal appeals court that sits over Judge #Boasberg, asking it to remove him from the case entirely given what they falsely described as his “highly unusual & improper procedures.”

The two government filings came on a day of extraordinary resistance to the court by the #Trump admin, which has said that it has not violated Boasberg’s order stopping the flights, but also that he had no authority to issue it in the first place.

Judge #Boasberg responded to #DOJ’s Monday motion to vacate the 5PM hearing:

The Court ORDERS that Defendants' 24 Motion to Vacate is DENIED. The hearing will proceed as scheduled. So ORDERED by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg on 3/17/2025.

So, it should start in about 5 minutes.

ICYMI, this stmnt from #Trump’s US AG #PamBondi is incredible:

"Tonight, a DC trial judge supported Tren de Aragua terrorists over the safety of Americans.…This order disregards well-established authority regarding Trump's power, & it puts the public & law enforcement at risk. The DOJ is undeterred in its efforts to work w/the WH, the DHS, & all of our partners to stop this invasion & Make America Safe Again.”

The issue is compliance w/the #law & has nothing to do with “support” of terrorists.
"Tonight, a DC trial judge supported Tren de Aragua terrorists over the safety of Americans. TdA is represented by the ACLU. This order disregards well-established authority regarding President Trump's power, and it puts the public and law enforcement at risk. The Department of Justice is undeterred in its efforts to work with the White House, the Department of Homeland Security, and all of our partners to stop this invasion and Make America Safe Again.'

Chief Judge Boasberg begins the hearing. Lee Gelernt & others from the #ACLU are there in person, along with others from #DemocracyForward.

For the government, appearing are Abishek Kambli & August Flentje.

#Boasberg begins by saying today's hearing is not about the merits of his TROs issued on Sat. He says the sole reason he's here is fact-finding about the govt's #compliance w/his orders. He notes the govt asked the DC Circuit to stay this hearing & asked that he be removed.

#Boasberg says he wants to focus on the timelines involved. He says, again, "I just want to obtain some facts here, I'm not planning to issue any rulings about the government's conduct today, it's just to get information." He says the ACLU can raise any objections to the facts if they have them

#Boasberg gets the #DOJ to confirm the 5 individual named plaintiffs, which were the subject of his first TRO, are still here.

Boasberg asks "How many planes departed the US at any point on Saturday carrying any people being deported solely on the basis of the proclamation."

DOJ refuses to answer!!

#DOJ says that the only thing they are authorized to say is that the two flights which took off after the written order were not relevant to this case (which I guess is saying they had no one subject to the #AlienEnemiesAct #AEA on board?). He then claims #NationalSecurity & diplomacy mean he won't answer further.

#Boasberg is now asking about a third flight identified by the #ACLU that they were asking about, which is I believe what the last bit was about. He gets the #DOJ to confirm no one on that plane was subject to the #AEA proclamation.

Plaintiffs also identify a third flight that departed later. Dkt. 21, at 4. That flight carried detainees who were removable on grounds other than the Proclamation and is therefore irrelevant. The government is able to disclose that limited fact for the same reason

#Boasberg is now questioning the government about the other 2 flights, which the government itself somewhat mentioned in its orders.

The government continues to refuse to disclose any information. Boasberg asks why it can't be said outside of the public, & the #DOJ attorney refuses to say why.

#Boasberg points out he gets classified info all the time "Why are you showing up today & not having answers as to why you can't disclose it?”

He points out that if the answers are classified, fine, just tell him.

Boasberg remains incredulous at the fact that the govt won't even tell him why they won't tell him how many flights took off. #DOJ says all he can say is that the flights took off before his order, & he suggests that's not relevant to #compliance.

#Boasberg’s questions for #DOJ:

1. How many planes departed the US at any time on Saturday carrying any people being deported solely on the basis of the proclamation?

2. How many people in that category were on those planes?

3. What foreign countries did those planes land in?

4. What time did the planes leave the US?

5. What time did they enter foreign airspace?

6. What time did they land?

7. What time were those individuals transferred into foreign custody?

#Boasberg now asks Lee Gelernt of the #ACLU is there are any other questions that should be asked, & asks him if he objects to the timing of a hearing tomorrow at noon to explain why they won't tell him the information.

Lee says "we're getting very close" to a #ConstitutionalCrisis.

the audio is unclear Lee's comments aren’t all relayed. He says it appears there is an admission that there may have been a flight which left after the order? the third flight?

#Boasberg: "The inquiry here is 'have they obeyed my order?'”

Boasberg notes #DOJ says they're representing no one on the third flight was subject to the #AEA, so Lee asks that they submit a sworn declaration.

Lee notes the govt is distinguishing between the AEA proclamation & a claimed inherent presidential authority, & asks for more on that.

#DOJ at first says they would be willing to submit a declaration but goes back their argument that they didn't violate the order, but then pushes back & says they won't until they can argue that they don't have to disclose any info at all.

#Boasberg asks for that to be part of noon tmw filing

Boasberg moves on to the core issue:

Did the #Trump admin violate the court’s order?

#DOJ argues that the written order issued 40mins later supersedes anything said orally, & says that the DOJ "on good faith" only viewed the written order as binding, not what #Boasberg said in court.

Boasberg notes he said “you shall inform your clients immediately” ... that any planes that are going to take off, or are in the air, shall be turned around….

He asks "You're telling me your first argument" is that didn't apply because it wasn't in the minute order?

#Boasberg again gets #DOJ to confirm that they are arguing that because he didn't include every word of that language in the written order, they could simply ignore what he said.

DOJ lawyer says that's what his client [#Trump] has instructed him to argue. Boasberg is incredulous & keeps pushing back.

#Boasberg says "so when I said directly turn the plane around, you read it because my written order was pithier, this could be disregarded? That's a heck of a stretch."

#DOJ then basically says that's what they're arguing, then pivots to the international waters argument.

Boasberg explores the argument about being outside the US. He asks whether the DOJ is arguing that because the plane was outside US airspace, his order did not apply.

#DOJ says “no”, "removal" had already happened because they had already left US airspace.

#Boasberg says "the equitable power of the United States courts is not so limited," saying it's "pretty clear" that even if the enjoined acts were outside the territory of the US, you can't violate it.

"What argument do you have the equity stops at this country's borders"?

#DOJ attorney begins saying the #law generally doesn't apply extraterritorially, and #Boasberg stops him, emphasizing that the question here is about his own equitable powers, not the Immigration and Nationality Act.

#Boasberg responds to that: "Isn't the response what you think is unconstitutional or improper or illegal injunction to seek modification or appeal?"

#DOJ says "when the planes are in the sky and there is sensitive national security, that's not a call that can be made."

#Boasberg says just return the planes then figure out the answer, rather than simply ignoring the order.

#DOJ then says that isn't what they're arguing & then shifts to their third argument, which is inherent presidential authority to move military forces.

Here’s the exact quote:

“Two more questions for Mr. Kambli (for the US govt) that don't relate to CONTEMPT / disobeying court orders. 1) Was Trump's Tren de Aragua proclamation signed in secret on Friday? Or on Saturday? Need to know timing & when US thinks it went into effect.”

The Court also ordered the Government to address the form in which it can provide further details about flights that left the United States before 7:25 PM. The Government maintains that there is no justification to order the provision of additional information, and that doing so would be inappropriate, because even accepting Plaintiffs’ account of the facts, there was no violation of the Court’s written order (since the relevant flights left U.S. airspace, and so their occupants were “removed,” before the order issued), and the Court’s earlier oral statements were not independently enforceable as injunctions. The Government stands on those arguments. Moreover, given that the Government’s motion for a stay remains pending before the D.C. Circuit, the Government should not be required to disclose sensitive information bearing on national security and foreign relations until that motion is resolved, especially given that this information is neither material nor timesensitive. If, however, the Court nevertheless orders the Government to provide additional details, the Court should do so through an in camera and ex parte declaration, in order to protect sensitive information bearing on foreign relations.

Essentially the #DOJ told Judge #Boasberg that it does not need to provide the Court with any additional info (despite being ordered to do so) b/c "there was no violation of the Court's *written* order (since the relevant flights left US airspace, & so their occupants were 'removed,' before the order issued)"

DOJ then said the Court's oral pronouncements prior to the written order being docketed "were not independently
enforceable as injunctions"

The #UnitedStates Govt Affidavit provides an explanation for the third flight leaving after #Boasberg’s orders:

"[A]ll individuals on that third plane had Title 8 final removal orders."

That means this flight complied with the order.

On March 15, 2025, after the Proclamation was publicly posted and took effect, three planes carrying aliens departed the United States for El Salvador International Airport (SAL). Two of those planes departed U.S. territory and airspace before 7:25 PM EDT. The third plane departed after that time, but all individuals on that third plane had Title 8 final removal orders and thus were not removed solely on the basis of the Proclamation at issue. To avoid any doubt, no one on any flight departing the United States after 7:25 PM EDT on March 15, 2025, was removed solely on the basis of the Proclamation at issue, ICE carefully tracks the TdA

From the Sat night hearing:

#UnitedStates Govt attorney:

"Would this TRO apply to aliens that otherwise have final orders of removal, because from our perspective, that would be an independent basis to effectuate their removal?"

They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security #prison in #ElSalvador, without any #DueProcess or any analysis as to whether they feared harm there.

Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a #deportation; it's something else entirely.

The #UnitedStates government under #Trump by all accounts is shipping these people into indefinite involuntary servitude in #ElSalvador without even the pretense of any #judicial process, much less duly convicting them of a #crime. It’s an enslaving operation.

It is #HumanTrafficking.
