Washington D.C. - A federal judge has suggested the Trump administration probably violated a court order concerning deportation protocols. Judge James E. Boasberg expressed his inclination to delay a final decision until next week regarding whether the White House should be held in contempt for allegedly ignoring his directive.
The core of the issue revolves around claims that the administration failed to comply with a prior order issued by Judge Boasberg. The details of the initial order remain under seal, but legal experts suggest it likely pertained to specific procedures or protections that should have been afforded to individuals facing deportation.
The Justice Department has not yet issued a formal statement, but is expected to contest the judge's preliminary findings.
