A court demands transparency about secret deportation flights to El Salvador. The Trump administration refuses to disclose details—allegedly for "national security" reasons. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche speaks of "ongoing Cabinet discussions" on whether to formally invoke the "state secrets privilege."
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has had enough. He already called the administration’s last response “woefully insufficient.” Now, he may hold government officials in contempt of court. The judge’s patience is running out.
The next hearing is set for the afternoon. Perhaps answers will come. But one thing is already clear: Judge Boasberg remains relentless—and for good reason.
