WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department asked an appeals court on Friday to block a contempt investigation of the Trump administration for failing to turn around planes carrying Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador in March.

The department also is seeking to Chief Judge James Boasberg’s removal from the case, accusing him of a “radical, retaliatory, unconstitutional campaign” against the Trump administration.

It marks a dramatic escalation in the Justice Department’s lengthy feud with the judge appointed to the bench by Democratic President Barack Obama, setting the stage for a showdown over the judiciary’s power to serve as a check on an administration that has pushed the boundaries of court orders.

The department wants the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to rule on its requests before Monday, when Boasberg is scheduled hear testimony from a former government attorney who filed a whistleblower complaint.

2. Bondi's DOJ is BIG on law & order but not on judges' orders

Then, law doesn't seem to apply.

Toss her in jail and let her know an order is an order and she complies of camps out on a jail cot.

Yeah, I have had it with these entitled racists disrupting lives of decent people and doing their own crimes and graft.
