President Donald Trump threw a "tantrum" and "jumped the shark" with his administration's latest request — asking an appeals court to yank a federal judge from hearing the case over the Alien Enemies Act.

The Trump administration asked an appeals court to remove Judge James Boasberg from overseeing its deportation case Monday. The Justice Department asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to reassign the case to a different district court judge, citing "highly irregular and inappropriate procedures" in Boasberg's handling of the case. This included his swift certification of a class action involving people associated with a designated foreign terrorist group.

“The Government cannot—and will not—be forced to answer sensitive questions of national security and foreign relations," the administration wrote, according to Camilo Montoya-Galvez, an immigration and politics reporter for CBS News.

The Trump administration's request came just before a scheduled hearing where Boasberg was set to weigh in on whether the administration violated his order by sending deportation flights to El Salvador. The administration said immediate relief from the appeals court is necessary to prevent further interference with Trump's constitutional powers, including the management of foreign relations.

"This is the equivalent of a small child throwing themselves on the ground and having a tantrum," chided Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council.

In separate posts on X, he added: "Basically, Judge Boasberg is treating this like a fairly normal immigration-related case. The government makes arguments, he decides whether they are valid, and things proceed normally. Meanwhile the Trump admin is suggesting it's like ordering the president not to kill Hitler."

9. 'We don't care?' Judge scolds Trump's DOJ over 'better course' during contentious hearing

This sounds like it was a fun hearing. It is never a good idea to tell a federal judge that you are NOT going to answer his questions.

A federal judge — who the Trump administration sought to have yanked from a hearing in a case over the Alien Enemies Act — scolded the administration Monday afternoon for ignoring his direct order to turn around a plane of deported migrants.

Judge James Boasberg rebuked the administration in the case after the Trump administration asked an appeals court to remove him.

At the hearing, Boasberg was set to weigh in on whether the administration violated his order by sending deportation flights to El Salvador. The administration said the flights were over international waters when the order was handed down and they believed the order did not apply. They also argued the judge's order came too late to alter the planes' course, an argument deemed dubious by legal experts.

The White House has welcomed the legal showdown, with a senior official saying, "This is headed to the Supreme Court. And we're going to win.".....

When Boasberg asked the Justice Department how many planes departed the United States at any point on Saturday carrying any people being deported "solely on the basis of the proclamation," the DOJ refused to answer.

"DOJ says that the only thing they are authorized to say is that the two flights which took off after the written order were not relevant to this case (which I guess is saying they had no one subject to the AEA on board?). He then claims national security and diplomacy mean he won't answer further," remarked Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, on Bluesky.

When Boasberg demanded to know about two flights, the government continued to rebuff the requests, earning a slap on the wrist from Boasberg.

"Why are you showing up today and not having answers as to why you can't disclose it?" he asked, according to Reichlin-Melnick.

Boasberg was "incredulous" as the government refused to explain why they wouldn't disclose how many flights took off, as well as when he pressed the government on why it violated his order.
