D.C. Circuit signals support for Boasberg's contempt probe into El Salvador deportations
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals appears poised to allow U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to continue his contempt investigation into Trump administration officials who deported hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador despite a federal court order. During a three-hour hearing, most judges expressed skepticism toward the Justice Department's attempt to shut down the probe by focusing solely on former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The court is expected to rule soon, potentially sending the case back to the district court or to the Supreme Court.
