Washington D.C. - U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has issued a finding of probable cause that the Trump administration may have been in contempt of court related to deportation flights to El Salvador. The ruling, detailed by NBC News' Kelly O'Donnell, centers on whether the administration knowingly violated a court order concerning the deportation of individuals.
Judge Boasberg's decision indicates he believes there's sufficient evidence to suggest the administration disregarded the court's directives. Specific details regarding the court order and the alleged violations have not been publicly released. The Justice Department has yet to issue a statement responding to the judge's finding. This development adds another layer of legal scrutiny to the Trump administration's immigration policies, which have faced numerous challenges in courts across the country. Further hearings or proceedings are expected to determine whether the administration will be formally held in contempt.
