The Trump administration's efforts to deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants have come under judicial scrutiny for alleged violations of a court order halting the expulsions. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg demanded specifics on the deportation flights, setting the stage for a potential constitutional showdown over the separation of powers.

Administration lawyers submitted a response in camera in accordance with the judge's provisions for handling sensitive matters. Despite arguments against using the state secrets doctrine, skepticism arose as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio publicly shared flight details, prompting further judicial inquiry into the administration's compliance.

The dispute escalated when President Trump called for Judge Boasberg's impeachment following judicial challenges against his actions. Critics and legal experts warn of a looming constitutional crisis underscoring tensions between executive and judicial branches, as the president contends with potential consequences for defying court orders.
