Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Supreme Court “will get involved” in the case about the deportation of nearly 300 Venezuelan migrants.
“Oh, the Supreme Court will get involved,” Bondi said on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “This is an out of control … federal judge trying to control our entire foreign policy, and he cannot do it.”
The Trump administration is battling Judge James Boasberg, who on March 15 tried to stop the deportation of Venezuelan migrants whom the administration claimed were Tren de Aragua gang members.
Boasberg ordered planes taking them to El Salvador not to leave the U.S. or to turn around if they already had. The administration has argued the judge could not interfere with foreign policy and that the planes already had left U.S. territory by the time Boasberg’s order was issued.
The judge has pressed the administration on the timing of the flights after the American Civil Liberties Union suggested in court that the administration defied his court order and deported the migrants anyway.
Bondi slammed Boasberg in her interview Sunday, saying he is “absolutely not” entitled to the national security information he’s requesting.
“We are appealing. We will in court Monday again. We will win. We will prevail,” she said.
She previously stated that Boasberg had “no right” to be asking the questions he demanded.
President Trump, Bondi and other top Trump allies have slammed Boasberg and called for him and other judges to be impeached. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, in a rare move, rebuked Trump last week after he called for Boasberg’s impeachment.
