Federal Judge Threatens Criminal Contempt for Trump Administration Officials Over Deportation Order
A federal judge on Wednesday warned officials within the administration of former President Donald Trump that they could face criminal charges for contempt of court. This stern warning comes after the judge alleged that these officials disobeyed his directive issued last month to reverse the course of airplanes transporting individuals being deported to El Salvador.
U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg made it clear that he is prepared to refer the matter for potential prosecution unless the administration takes immediate action to ‘purge’ its contempt.
Judge Boasberg specified that the administration could rectify the situation and avoid further legal repercussions by ensuring the return to U.S. custody of all individuals who were wrongly deported and subsequently placed in a prison in El Salvador.

The White House under President Donald Trump has strongly criticized a Democratic lawmaker for his announced plan to visit a deported individual, described as an ‘MS-13 gang member,’ in El Salvador.
Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland declared on Wednesday his arrival in the Central American nation to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran migrant who was mistakenly deported earlier in the year by the Trump administration.
Senator Van Hollen communicated his intentions through several videos posted on X, stating his aim to visit Abrego Garcia, aged 29, and advocate for his prompt release from custody.
In response, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a statement accusing Senator Van Hollen and his Democratic colleagues of displaying greater concern for an ‘illegal MS-13 gang member’ than for the victims of crimes committed by migrants.
‘Senator Van Hollen’s actions are a complete embarrassment reflecting poorly on his position, and he should be publicly condemned for these deplorable actions,’ Cheung added.
