SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly said Tuesday evening on her show that U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, who “thinks he’s president,” is bringing the country closer to a “constitutional crisis” over his battle to stop President Donald Trump from deporting migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
A court battle between Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and Boasberg has been ongoing since Saturday after Trump deported over 200 suspected gang members, with the judge placing a temporary halt on the deportation the same day. On “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly highlighted how both Trump and border czar Tom Homan confirmed that the migrants on the planes being deported to El Salvador were gang members, before ripping into the judge for “losing his mind” over Trump’s authority.
“Trump says these are gang members. Tom Homan says ‘They’re gang members. We’ve done our homework. That’s who they are. We are shipping them out of the country with a ride.’ I mean, we’re being courteous to them, giving them a ride, although it ends in El Salvador to prison, which is generally where gang members wind up, whether it’s domestically or internationally,” Kelly said.
“This judge is losing his mind that Trump is not doing everything he’s commanding him to do,” Kelly added. “This is the closest thing we’ve seen yet to a constitutional crisis. You know how the left has been throwing that term around? And it’s not because of Trump. It’s because of a judge who thinks he’s the president.”
Trump announced Saturday that he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 against the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), leading to the deportation of over 200 suspected members. However, Boasberg attempted to halt the deportations that same day before calling an emergency hearing, where he expanded his order to state that “all noncitizens in U.S. custody” were not to be deported.
