The judge refrained from issuing a ruling on whether the administration had defied his order stopping deportations of alleged foreign criminal gang members.

WASHINGTONโ€”U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has ordered President Donald Trumpโ€™s administration to provide additional information on its implementation of the presidentโ€™s decision to speed up deportations of purported Venezuelan gang members by applying a centuries-old law known as the Alien Enemies Act.

The order came alongside a March 17 hearing in which Boasberg scrutinized whether the administration had complied with an order he issued two days beforehand that prohibited deportations authorized by Trumpโ€™s March 15 proclamation, which invoked the Enemies Act. A group of anonymous Venezuelan nationals sued in anticipation of the proclamation and later alleged that the administration had flouted Boasbergโ€™s March 15 order.

Boasberg requested that the administration provide, by noon on March 18, sworn declarations of the governmentโ€™s estimate of how many individuals subject to Trumpโ€™s proclamation were still in the country, clarifying when the proclamation was signed and went into effect, and stating that no individuals were removed pursuant to the declaration after Boasberg issued a written order at 7:25 p.m. E.T. on March 15.

The administration had attempted to prevent the March 17 hearing from taking place. In a motion filed before the hearing, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said the court should โ€œde-escalate the grave incursions on Executive Branch authority that have already arisen.โ€

Boasberg denied the motion and suggested during the hearing that the DOJ was underestimating his authority over deportations that had extended beyond U.S. airspace. He also refrained from issuing a ruling on whether the government had defied his order.

The dispute arose in response to Trumpโ€™s proclamation that targeted members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, which the State Department designated as a foreign terrorist organization in the preceding month. Trump accused the gang of โ€œperpetrating, attempting, and threatening an invasion or predatory incursion of the United Statesโ€ and proclaimed that all gang members older than 14 years of age were liable to be removed as alien enemies.
