Trump attacks 'radical left' judge who halted deportations, says 'lives would be devastated' if jurists had their way

President Donald Trump took aim at U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg and other “radical left judges” on Sunday — saying on social media if it was up to them, “the president wouldn’t be allowed to do his job, and people’s lives would be devastated” — as they oversee cases and lawsuits aimed at his administration from the federal bench.

“People are shocked by what is going on with the Court System,” Trump wrote on Truth Social before tearing into Boasberg — a Barack Obama appointee — for his participation in an ongoing mass deportations case that centers around the president’s attempt to implement the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1798 to remove Venezuelans who have been targeted by his administration for deportation due to various reasons.

Boasberg, who got his start as a jurist under George W. Bush and was later promoted by Obama, issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) on March 15 blocking the Trump administration from carrying out AEA removals. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld Boasberg’s ruling last week and rejected a Justice Department bid for an emergency stay of the TRO.

“I was elected for many reasons, but a principal one was LAW AND ORDER, a big part of which is QUICKLY removing a vast Criminal Network of individuals, who came into our Country through the Crooked Joe Biden Open Borders Policy!” Trump said Sunday in reference to the Venezuelans being deported.

NOTE (from the excerpt) -

Boasberg, who got his start as a jurist under George W. Bush


Shrub appointed him (and he was confirmed by the Senate) for the D.C. Superior Court where he served for 9 years before being nominated for the D.C. District Court (federal) by Obama.

The imaginary "immigrant crime wave" is straight out of the fascist demagogue handbook.
