Judge James Boasberg on Friday sided with criminal gang members and extended his temporary restraining order (TRO) in the Alien Enemies Act case until April 12.
The TRO was set to expire on March 29.
“On March 15, 2025, this Court issued two Temporary Restraining Orders that will expire on March 29, 2025, unless extended. Those TROs enjoin Defendants from removing from the United States the named Plaintiffs — and a provisionally certified class of all noncitizens in U.S. custody — solely on the basis of the Presidential Proclamation entitled, “Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of the United States by Tren de Aragua.” Plaintiffs have now filed a Motion to Extend the TROs for another 14 days for “good cause.” ECF No. 64 (Mot.) at 1; see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(2) (court may extend TRO for “like period” if there is “good cause” to do so),” Judge Boasberg wrote.
Judge Boasberg said he is extending his TRO because the plaintiffs need more time to file motions and prepare arguments.
“As this Court recently explained, Plaintiffs are entitled to a TRO enjoining their removal at least until they have had a chance to challenge that they are covered by the Proclamation,” Judge Boasberg wrote.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday denied the Trump DOJ’s request to lift Judge Boasberg’s block on the Alien Enemies Act deportation flights.
The three judge panel on the DC Circuit Court: Henderson (George W. Bush appointee), Millett (Obama appointee), and Walker (Trump appointee) voted 2-1 – with Judge Walker dissenting.
President Trump on Friday asked the US Supreme Court to intervene in the Alien Enemies Act case after a federal appeals court denied the stay of an injunction barring the Trump administration from deporting criminal aliens.
