U.S. District Judge James Boasberg upped his feud with President Trump on Wednesday by finding probable cause to hold his administration in contempt of court for continuing to carry out deportations to El Salvador despite the judge’s orders to turn around planes.

House Republicans have moved to limit the authority of federal judges, passing legislation Wednesday evening to prevent the issuing of nationwide injunctions.

The House voted 219-213 to pass the No Rogue Rulings Act to restrict federal judges from issuing far-reaching injunctions. Instead, rulings would only apply to the parties directly involved in the case.

Attorney General Pam Bondi doubled down on the Trump administration's decision to deport alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to an El Salvadoran megaprison last month — insisting in a "Fox News Sunday" interview that ICE members have testified that the former Maryland resident is a member of the criminal gang, despite arguments to the contrary.

"His lawyers have argued he should be here because he was studying to be an electrician… let me give you a comparison," she said.

Chief Justice John Roberts agreed Monday to pause a midnight deadline for the Trump administration to return a Maryland man mistakenly deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

The temporary order comes hours after a Justice Department emergency appeal to the Supreme Court arguing U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis overstepped her authority when she ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned to the United States.

The Supreme Court gave the Trump administration a temporary reprieve from lower-court orders requiring it to bring back by midnight Monday a Salvadoran man officials say they deported in error to a prison in El Salvador.

The justices’ brief order on Monday means that Kilmar Abrego Garcia will remain, for now, in El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center, also known by its Spanish acronym, Cecot, while the high court considers the case. 

As Donald Trump and Elon Musk widen their radical attacks on US judges who have stalled some of Trump’s executive orders and Musk’s slashing of federal agencies, they’re gaining backing from top House Republicans and other politicians, including some to whom the tech billionaire made big campaign donations.

The Trump administration’s repeated losses in courts have sparked Republican efforts to limit the reach of the judiciary, something Democrats argue is designed to hamstring reviews of lawless orders.

Congressional Republicans have rolled out two legislative vehicles that would curb nationwide injunctions, arguing this will restore order to the judiciary and put district court judges in their place.

House Republicans are going all out this week to signal their support for the Trump administration amid multiple legal standoffs over White House policy.

A bill to limit U.S. district court judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions sailed through the House Rules Committee – the last gatekeeper for bills before a chamber-wide vote – in a party-line vote Monday evening, as expected.

The world’s richest man gave away $1 million to a voter who signed his petition—for the second time.

A political action committee funded by Elon Musk has announced the first $1 million winner in its petition against "activist judges" in Wisconsin.
