Appeals Court Overturns Contempt Ruling on Deportations | JQJO

A federal appeals court overturned a lower court's contempt ruling against Trump administration officials for deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. A 2-1 decision, with Trump-appointed judges in the majority, found Chief Judge Boasberg lacked authority to pursue contempt. The ruling stems from deportations halted by Boasberg, later overturned by the Supreme Court. While the Attorney General celebrated the decision, the ACLU expressed disappointment and plans to explore further options. The case highlights ongoing disputes over executive power and judicial oversight of deportations.
