White House Blasts Judge Over Deportation Ruling
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt harshly criticized U.S. District Judge James Boasberg after he temporarily blocked deportation flights. Calling him “an activist judge,” Leavitt said, “This judge cannot, does not, have that authority,” and accused him of overstepping presidential powers.
Backing Trump’s Criticism
Her remarks echoed President Trump, who labeled Boasberg a “radical left lunatic” and suggested impeachment.
Targeting Judge’s Background
Leavitt claimed Boasberg was politically biased, stating, “He was appointed by Barack Obama,” and referenced his wife’s political donations.
Defending Executive Power
“The president has the power… and that’s why the deportation campaign will continue,” she asserted.
