Judge #Boasberg cites the #Trump admin’s gloating after his order was violated, noting the “oopsie”tweet from #Bukele & its amplification by admin ofcls.
Boasberg says the admin can “purge” its #contempt by bringing back the people he ordered not to be sent in the first place & giving them appropriate #DueProcess. If not, he will conduct further proceedings.
Boasberg said he’s skeptical of the admin’s invocation of #StateSecrets #privilege.
#Boasberg says if the #Trump admin won’t purge potential #contempt, he’ll appoint a prosecutor who will ID the officials in the admin responsible & the court will appoint attys to prosecute #criminal contempt!
