Judge Boasberg grills DOJ on Trump's comments about El Salvador deportations
Public comments from President Donald Trump and his aides are once again scrambling the Justice Department's efforts to defend his administration's deportation policies in court. A federal judge on Wednesday homed in on Trump's recent claim in a TV interview that he could, with a phone call, persuade El Salvador to return an illegally deported Salvadoran man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, to the United States. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said during a court hearing that Trump's claim appears to undercut the administration's legal position that it has no authority to return Abrego Garcia or hundreds of other immigrants the U.S. sent there in recent weeks, despite growing questions about the legality of the operation. 'Didn't the president say just last week that he could secure the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia simply by picking up the phone and asking the president of El Salvador to release him?' Boasberg asked. 'Was the president telling the truth?' The inquiry forced Justice Department attorney Abhishek Kambli into a tricky spot. 'That goes to the president's belief about the influence that he has,' Kambli said. But influence, the DOJ attorney added, doesn't equate to legal control. Boasberg, the chief federal district judge in Washington, D.C., is trying to discern whether the U.S. government retains 'constructive custody' of nearly 140 Venezuelan immigrants who were hurriedly deported to El Salvador under Trump's mid-March invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely used wartime power. If so, it would be possible to bring them back to receive due process, which Kambli reluctantly acknowledged they did not receive two months ago. The judge is now asking for an 'expedited' fact-finding inquiry so that he can decide whether to advance the case further. He is asking for statements under oath from administration officials about the U.S. government's legal arrangement with El Salvador so that he can rule on whether the government does in fact retain custody of the prisoners it has sent overseas. Another pointed exchange came as Boasberg pressed Kambli about Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's visit to the notorious Salvadoran prison, known as CECOT, where the deportees are being held. Noem claimed during the appearance that the prison was 'one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use.' 'Is she wrong about that?' the judge asked. 'I'm not going to necessarily parse out every statement,' Kambli demurred. 'Sometimes public statements lack the nuance of any given situation.' 'Is that another way of saying these statements just aren't true?' the judge said. 'No, that's not what I'm saying at all,' Kambli said. Drilling down further, Boasberg pressed on whether the U.S. government is paying El Salvador to house the people it has deported there in partnership with the country's president, Nayib Bukele, a close Trump ally. Kambli acknowledged that the U.S. government had paid 'grants' to El Salvador 'for law enforcement and anti-crime purposes,' which the country could use to house deported immigrants in its prisons. Boasberg is weighing whether he still has authority to preside over ongoing litigation related to the El Salvador deportations. Early in the litigation, Boasberg issued a sweeping block on Trump's Alien Enemies Act deportations, but the Supreme Court lifted that block and ruled that challenges to future deportations had to be brought in the judicial districts where the detainees were being held. Many were in Texas at the time, and others have since filed suit in Colorado, California, Rhode Island and New York. But lawyers advocating for the release of the people who have already been deported to El Salvador say Boasberg can still preside over their case. Boasberg also used Wednesday's hearing to force the Justice Department to acknowledge that those around Trump had spent weeks misrepresenting the Supreme Court's ruling. Trump allies have claimed that the high court upheld Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act. But the justices intentionally avoided that question. In the meantime, three federal district court judges — in Texas, New York and Colorado — have ruled that Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act was improper.

Trump's words undermine DOJ's argument regarding men deported to El Salvador's CECOT
WASHINGTON — The words of President Donald Trump and members of his administration undermined the government's contention during a court hearing on Wednesday that the men deported from the country under the Alien Enemies Act and delivered to El Salvador were not in the constructive custody of the United States. In a hearing on Wednesday evening, Chief U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg questioned a Justice Department attorney over whether Trump was telling the truth when he said that he could secure the release of Abrego Garcia from the CECOT facility in El Salvador. Boasberg used the president's own words, as well as statements from Press Secretary Karoline Levitt and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, to chip away at the government's contention that those incarcerated at CECOT in El Salvador were not in the constructive custody of the United States. Trump said last week that he 'could' have Garcia returned to the United States with a phone call, while Levitt said the United States was paying El Salvador 'approximately $6 million' to keep the men, and Noem said that CECOT was 'one of the tools in our tool kit' that the United States could use. 'Is the President not telling the truth, or could he secure the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia?' Boasberg asked Deputy Assistant Attorney General Abhishek Kambli, who was representing the government on Wednesday. 'Was the president telling the truth,' when he said he could pick up the phone and secure the release of Garcia or not, Boasberg asked. 'That goes towards the president's belief about influence he has,' Kambli responded, saying that "influence does not equate to constructive custody." Under questioning from Boasberg, Kambli said that a "grant" dated March 22 that was described as for law enforcement needs related to the 238 alleged Tren de Aragua members recently deported to El Salvador. Kambli confirmed 'grants were made' that 'can be used for detention of these individuals.' Boasberg said the plaintiffs had 'a lot of facts in your favor' in arguing that the United States had what's called 'constructive custody' of the men — something the Trump administration has argued in and out of court they do not have. Boasberg questioned Kambli on whether the government would concede that transferring individuals to CECOT without due process would mean that the government had violated the rights of the deportees. 'I don't know if I would put it in those terms," Kambli replied. Boasberg has ordered the Trump administration to provide sworn declarations from administration officials regarding the issue of who exactly has custody of these individuals at CECOT. Boasberg has ordered lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward who brought the lawsuit to review that information, and to decide, by Monday, whether or not to request discovery — and if so, exactly what questions, depositions, and documents they are requesting. After that, Boasberg will decide exactly what to order the government to produce, if necessary. The Supreme Court last month lifted Boasberg's order which temporarily blocked the administration from sending members of Tren de Aragua to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, but the Supreme Court didn't reach a decision on the merits of Trump's invocation of the act. Last week, a Trump-appointed judge became the first to strike down the administration's use of the act, which had previously only been deployed during the War of 1812, World War I and World War II. While the Trump administration proclaimed that they won the Supreme Court argument, Boasberg questioned Kambli about the decision, noting that the court had not reached the merits of the administration's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. Boasberg asked whether Kambli acknowledged that the Supreme Court didn't reach the arguments about the administration's use of the act itself, and Kambli conceded that the court "did not analyze that precise issue." "I assume that's a yes," Boasberg replied.

A New Hampshire judge is deciding whether to block Trump's anti-DEI directive to schools
The National Education Association and American Civil Liberties sued the department in Get N.H. Morning Report A weekday newsletter delivering the N.H. news you need to know right to your inbox. Enter Email Sign Up But during a hearing Thursday, Deputy Associate Attorney General Abishek Kambli argued the teachers' union lacks standing to sue because the guidance is aimed at schools, not teachers. And educators who are 'self-censoring' due to misunderstanding the letter aren't being harmed, he said. Advertisement 'You can't manufacture harm simply by inflicting harm on yourself,' he said. Kambli also suggested a temporary halt to enforcement was unnecessary because there is a lengthy, multi-step process to determine whether a school should lose funding, with ample opportunity to challenge findings. But Judge Landya McCafferty read passages from the Education Department press release announcing the recent cancellation of grants and contracts to Advertisement 'It doesn't describe any sort of process, it says immediate,' she said. The directive does not carry the force of law but threatens to use civil rights enforcement to rid schools of DEI practices. Schools that continue such practices 'in violation of federal law' can face Justice Department litigation and a Sarah Hinger, an attorney for the ACLU, pushed back against Kambli's claim that the letter was not a final action that can be challenged in court but rather an explanation of the department's enforcement priorities. 'It requires. It orders. It dictates,' she said. 'The chill from that is happening now, and plaintiffs are not required to wait until they're hauled into court to challenge an unconstitutional law.' Education officials in some Democratic-led states have indicated they will not comply with the order to submit certification of their schools' compliance. Hinger told reporters after the hearing that in addition to fear, educators have also expressed bravery. 'We are seeing folks across the education community stand up and assert their rights and really being brave in indicating how contrary this 'Dear Colleague' letter is to sound educational practices from K-12 through higher education,' she said.
