Bill Barr warns the judges “usurping” the Trump authority on deportation flights
The legal battles continue on the president Donald Trump The deportation flights of migrants, in particular those involving Venezuelan migrants sent to El Salvador. Former attorney general Bill Barr says that the judges who block these flights are overcoming their authority.
“There is a model on the basis of which these judges of the district court are trying to usurpate the president’s responsibility in the national security area,” said Barr Tuesday “American editorial staff. “
“The president has absolutely reason to be frustrated and worried about the way the courts are managing this.”
Barr’s comments follow the decision of the US district judge James Boasberg to stop the deportation of individuals who are presumed to be a members of the gang, citing the concerns of the right trial. Boasberg also ordered the government to return planes transporting migrants who had already been expelled.

According to Barr, the sentence goes beyond the authority of the judge and interferes with the constitutional powers of the president.
“The Constitution gives the President the power to express the judgments on how we deal with foreign citizens when we are animated by national security problems,” said Barr, who worked as a general prosecutor of Trump in 2019 and 2020.
“It is his call, not the call of a judge of the district court.”
Judge Boasberg requested further details on the El Salvador flight, even when he landed and who was on board. However, the Trump administration invoked the Privileges of state secretsallowing him to retain this information from the court.

On Monday, the government’s lawyers asked a Court of Appeal to raise the order of Boasberg and allow deportation flights to resume. The jury judges appeared divided, with Judge Patricia Millett comparing the situation with the policies of the Second World War.
“The Nazis received a better treatment pursuant to the Alien Enemy Act than what happened here,” he said, claiming that the Nazis also had the boards of directors before being deported, while the migrants in this case would have received any trials.
Barr states that this case underlines a wider issue of the judges of the district court that emit all unit at national level that affect the entire country.
“Although it is appropriate that the Court plays its traditional role of safeguarding the freedoms of American citizens, we have this phenomenon of injunctions at national level in which the lowest level judge, the district judges, try to bind the entire nation and bind the president in their initial decision. This is not what we have meant with the judicial power under our Constitution”, said Barr.
The judge of the Supreme Court Elena Kagan expressed similar concerns in 2022 during a speech at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law.
“It cannot be right that a district judge can stop a national policy on his tracks and let it stop for the years necessary to go through the normal trial,” he said.
Barr asks the Supreme Court to intervene and resolve the matter.

“If they (the Supreme Court of the United States) finally get up and decide a case instead of resisting these decisions, I think it will come out in the right way,” he said.
“I think most judges appreciate how absurd.”
