Chief District Judge James Boasberg is under fire from Attorney General Pam Bondi after he attempted to block the Trump Administration’s efforts to deport illegal immigrant gang members from groups such as Tren de Aragua and MS-13 to El Salvador, where President Nayib Bukele is holding them in high-security prison. Speaking to Fox News this week, Bondi condemned Boasberg’s actions, insisting that the Trump Administration holds a decisive advantage and will not permit a left-leaning judge to dictate American foreign and immigration policy.
“This is an out-of-control judge, a federal judge, trying to control our entire foreign policy, and he cannot do it. You know, he dragged us into court on a Saturday without any notice, and then he’s continuing these hearings. He’s trying to ask us about national security information, which he is absolutely not entitled to,” she noted.
She added that she would fight his decision to block deportations in court: “We are appealing. We will be in court on Monday again. We will win. We will prevail. There are 261 reasons why Americans are safer today, and that’s because those people are now in an El Salvador prison, and we are going to follow the law and we are going to protect Americans.”
Bondi also said that bad immigration policy is why the Democrats are failing. She explained, “You know, there is a reason why Biden’s approval rating was plummeting because of the border. There is a reason why the current Democrat approval rating is at 29%. People want to be safe. This is President Trump’s agenda to keep Americans safe.”
She concluded by making a strong moral argument for closing the border. She wrapped up, “It’s basic public safety. Get these people out of our country as fast as we can. They’re not immigrants. They’re illegal aliens who are committing the most violent crimes you can imagine on Americans … we are going to continue to make America safe again, because that’s President Trump’s agenda.”
