US Judge Finds Probable Cause to Hold Trump Officials in Criminal Contempt Over Deportations

A US federal judge has ruled that there is probable cause to hold senior Trump officials in criminal contempt for violating a court order related to the deportation of migrants. The judge, James Boasberg, cited evidence of a "deliberate or reckless disregard" by the government for the court's order. The administration had invoked the Alien Enemies Act, a 227-year-old law, to justify the deportations. However, the judge found that the administration's actions were not justified under the law and that they had rushed to deport the migrants.
