A federal judge found probable cause that the Trump administration acted with contempt of court in violating his order to immediately halt deportations of Venezuelans suspected of being gang members.

US District Judge James Boasberg issued an order Wednesday saying that officials acted in “willful disregard” of his verbal order on March 15 to turn around planes carrying Venezuelans now held in a notorious prison in El Salvador. Boasberg said at a court hearing on April 3 that “the government acted in bad faith throughout that day.”

    If we get to the point where the senate convicts him, I think it’s game over. That means that republican party has finally turned on him (meaning they think the public has too).

    US is sliding towards authoritarianism, but having the whole country against you is still not something he can overcome.

      He literally tried to have the senate (and house) murdered by an angry mob.

      But yeah, that is definitely going to be the one line he won’t cross. Ignoring their disapproval.
