The battlefield for the new lawfare against President Donald Trump was quickly shaped when, within hours of the president’s March 15 executive order deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members, ACLU lawyers sympathetic to their plight filed a habeas petition in the D.C. District Court.
The ACLU is seeking to stop the executive branch from removing five plaintiffs. D.C. District Judge James Boasberg hastily took command and control over the latest iteration of lawfare, emergently agreeing to consider the case and issuing orders camouflaged in legitimacy. Judge Boasberg’s orders, actions, and reactions are laden with plain error.
