Boston Judge Calls Trump Officials' Deportation Push an Unconstitutional Conspiracy
TL;DR
A U.S. district judge in Boston denounced top Trump administration officials, including President Trump, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, for pursuing a targeted deportation campaign against pro-Palestinian activists, calling the actions an 'unconstitutional conspiracy' to chill First Amendment rights and promising a severe remedy that would presume retaliation in future immigration changes; the DOJ argued the court cannot offer such relief, and a formal ruling is expected next week.
