U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg began the process of finding President Donald Trump's administration in criminal contempt on Wednesday over its rushed deportation flights to El Salvador.
Boasberg had ordered Trump admin officials to halt deportation flights of Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador's CECOT prison. The Trump administration ignored his order, openly mocking the judge on social media with footage of deportees at the prison. In his ruling, Boasberg found "probable cause" to begin proceedings on criminal contempt charges.
