DC appeals court orders Judge Boasberg to halt Trump contempt probe over deportation flights

A divided D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to halt Judge James Boasberg's contempt inquiry into Trump administration officials over deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act. The majority, including Trump appointees Neomi Rao and Justin Walker, deemed the inquiry an overreach, while Biden appointee J. Michelle Childs dissented, emphasizing the importance of contempt powers.
