Judge: 'Probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies
Act deportations

Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in the District of
Columbia ruled Wednesday that there is "probable cause" to find the
Trump administration in criminal contempt of court after he said it
violated his order last month to immediately pause any deportations
under the Alien Enemies Act.

Boasberg gave the federal government until April 23 to respond to try
to "purge their contempt" and prove they did not violate his temporary restraining order.

Alternatively, the government must provide the name of the person or
people who chose not to halt Alien Enemies Act deportations out of the
U.S. despite his order -- and Boasberg said he would refer them for prosecution.

An order of criminal contempt can carry a fine or prison sentence.

Most likely, POTUS will excuse them....
