The president of the United States Supreme Court, the conservative John Roberts, rebuked the Madlatario Donald Trump, after his attacks on the federal judge who blocked the application of a law with which the Republican leader ordered to expel more than 250 alleged members of the Aragua train to El Salvador.
Judge Roberts spoke hours after Trump accused Judge James Boasberg of “lunatic of the radical left” and asked to be “dismissed.”
«For more than two centuries, it has been established that the dismissal process (Impeachment) is not an appropriate response to the disagreement related to a judicial decision. The normal appeal review process exists for that purpose, ”Roberts said in a statement.
It all started after the US President invoked the law of foreign enemies of 1798 on Saturday, only used so far in times of war, arguing that the US was suffering an “invasion” of the Venezuelan criminal band Train de Aragua, although it did not present evidence.
Trump was secretly signed on Friday and this was made public on Saturday at 16.20 local time. While Boasberg studied his legality at an audience, two flights took off from Texas to El Salvador, according to an investigation by The Washington Post.
According to that analysis, that same day, at 19.36 local time (23.36 GMT), a third flight left Texas, just ten minutes after Boasberg ordered, verbally and in writing, that the planes returned to the US until the litigation was resolved.
The Roberts movement, which does not usually issue this type of communications, has been interpreted by the majority of analysts as a way to stop Trump and his in their requests to dismiss the judges who fail against them in an attempt to continue tensioning the limits of the separation of powers between the Executive and the judicial.
In 2018, the magistrate and the president already had a rifirrafe after Trump attacked a judge who dictated against his asylum policy.
In addition to the criticism of some judges, Trump’s followers have attacked the magistrate of Supreme Amy Coney Barrett, who was appointed member of that court by the Republican in 2020, after he voted with Roberts and the liberal judges against one of the administration measures to freeze funds for international aid.
They will not give flight data
The Donald Trump government said that it will not send to a federal judge details about two of the flights in which on Saturday more than 200 Venezuelans were deported to El Salvador, considering that the Administration did not violate the order that the same magistrate issued to be returned to US territory.
Despite the order of Judge James Boasberg, from the Columbia district, a total of three flights landed in El Salvador and delivered to about 200 Venezuelans – which the US government says they are members of the criminal band of Aragua – to the local authorities, who accepted to imprison them.
For the operation, Trump invoked the Law of Foreign Enemies, a Standard of 1798 that has not been used since World War II and that allows the expulsion of people without US citizenship without prior judicial view.
On Monday Boasberg asked the Department of Justice to send this Mars information about the entire operation, including data on two flights that took off from American soil before the magistrate issued his order in writing at 7:25 p.m. local time on Saturday.
“The Government argues that there is no justification to order the presentation of additional information, and that doing so would be inappropriate,” says the documentation presented before the Court by the aforementioned department.
The brief ensures that “even accepting the version of the acts of the plaintiffs, the written order of the court was not violated (since the pertinent flights left the US airsp precautionary ».
The US government concludes that being the process in an appeal (on Monday it requested that Boasberg be withdrawn from the cause alleging an “inappropriate exercise of powers”) “the government should not be required to reveal sensitive information related to national security and foreign relations until such request is resolved, especially given that this information is not relevant or urgent.”
The Department of Justice has questioned that Boasberg’s order in its verbal form was binding and also that the judge has competence on government immigration policy.
One of the lawyers who represents five of the Venezuelans deported to El Salvador have warned about the “constitutional crisis” posed
