The judge, James E. Boasberg, said he was likely to wait until next week to rule on whether the White House was in contempt of court for having ignored his order.

A federal judge says the Trump administration may have “acted in bad faith” by trying to rush Venezuelan migrants out of the country before a court could step in to block their deportations to El Salvador.

Reps. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., signed onto the bill as co-sponsors last week, Fox News Digital was told, despite House GOP leaders signaling around the same time that they have little appetite to pursue that route.

Judge James Boasberg ordered five of President Donald Trump's Cabinet members on Thursday to save their Signal messages about Houthi attack plans.

Due to the Signal chat, American Oversight, a watchdog group, filed a lawsuit. According to the group’s submission, Trump officials violated the Federal Records Act by neglecting to preserve Signal messages about the recent attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Judge Boasberg – who is notably overseeing two high-profile President Donald Trump lawsuits in Washington, D.C. – has come under scrutiny in recent weeks, including his own ties to the Supreme Court.
