The legal drama surrounding President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal Venezuelan nationals—many with alleged gang ties—is far from over. But thanks to a timely Supreme Court ruling, the tide has dramatically turned in Trump’s favor.

On Monday, Chief Justice John Roberts vacated rogue Judge James Boasberg’s restraining order that had blocked the Trump administration from deporting thousands under the 1798 wartime law. This ruling didn’t just lift the roadblock—it gave the administration “maximum authority,” in the words of Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller, to start removing dangerous Venezuelan gang members like those tied to Tren de Aragua with speed and precision.
“This is a MONUMENTAL victory,” Miller said on Fox News. “Tren de Aragua can now be hunted down and expelled from this country with speed and efficiency.”
But the show isn’t quite over. Judge Boasberg, who’s been repeatedly accused of political activism from the bench, canceled Tuesday’s hearing as expected after the Supreme Court ruled he has no jurisdiction over the case. Yet strangely, he refused to close the case entirely, instead asking plaintiffs whether they still want to move forward—a direct contradiction of what Roberts just ruled.

Legal experts and observers across the board are now asking: what is Judge Boasberg up to?
Even Attorney General Pam Bondi weighed in, slamming Boasberg’s judicial overreach. “The Supreme Court has spoken loud and clear—he has no jurisdiction,” she said outside the White House.
The most troubling part? There’s growing speculation that Boasberg may have manipulated judicial assignments to ensure he personally presided over this high-profile immigration case, despite being the same judge who greenlit illegal FISA warrants used to spy on President Trump years ago. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) hinted on Fox News that Boasberg might’ve exploited his authority as “emergency judge” to insert himself directly into this legal brawl.

If true, this could spark serious consequences—and possibly be the start of long-overdue accountability for activist judges trying to override the Constitution from the bench.
For now, the Trump administration is full speed ahead on deportations, using Title 8 authority and the re-enabled Alien Enemies Act. The Supreme Court delivered the win, and now the question is whether Boasberg will defy the high court—or finally back down.
Either way, America is watching. And so is President Trump.
