White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt continued the Trump administration's attack on the federal judiciary on Wednesday, accusing judges of "acting as partisan activists" in their objections to President Donald Trump's agenda.
Trump admin officials were recently barred from carrying out deportations under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Over the weekend, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ordered the administration officials to halt any future deportations under the archaic and rarely used act, demanding that any deportees in transit be returned to the United States. Trump and associates flouted that order, mocking the judge over the timing of his order and sharing videos of the deportees in an El Salvadoran prison.
