Judge James Boasberg made his next move in the Alien Enemies Act case on Tuesday after the Supreme Court vacated his orders.

In an unsigned order, the US Supreme Court on Monday vacated Judge Boasberg’s orders barring the Trump Administration’s removals of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

Last month, Judge Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act.

Far-left America-hating leftist groups, such as the ACLU and Democracy Forward, rushed to a DC court in a desperate bid to shield dangerous illegal aliens from deportation.

The high court said Boasberg lacked jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court however, said the Administration must give reasonable notice for gang members to challenge their deportations in court.

Five Supreme court Justices, Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Thomas and Alito were in favor of vacating Boasberg’s orders.

The three liberal justices Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor dissented – ‘conservative’ justice Amy Coney Barret dissented in part.

On Tuesday morning Boasberg canceled the scheduled hearing on the Alien Enemies Act, however, he gave the deported Venezuelan gang members another chance to pursue a preliminary injunction!

Boasberg seized on the Supreme Court’s position allowing the deported gang members to challenge their removal in court.

“In yesterday’s ruling vacating this Court’s TROs, the Supreme Court held that Plaintiffs cannot be deported under the Alien Enemies Act without an opportunity to challenge their removal in federal court. It also determined that the appropriate venue for such proceedings is the Southern District of Texas or wherever Plaintiffs are currently held,” Boasberg wrote.

Boasberg gave the plaintiffs until April 16 to file a notice if they wish to proceed on their motion for a preliminary injunction.

“This Court accordingly ORDERS that: 1) Today’s preliminary injunction hearing is VACATED; and 2) Plaintiffs shall file a Notice by April 16, 2025, indicating whether they believe that they still have a basis to proceed on their Motion for Preliminary Injunction in this Court and, if so, proposing a briefing schedule,” Boasberg said.

After back and forth between two federal agencies, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have reached a deal to aid in the deportation efforts of illegal immigrants.

The agreement will allow U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to access taxpayer information to locate illegal immigrants subject to deportation.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem signed the agreement, which allows the IRS to turn over information about undocumented immigrants already facing deportation orders and are under federal criminal investigation.

Under the agreement, ICE can submit names and request address confirmations for illegals who have been ordered removed but have overstayed past the 90-day mark.

Officials emphasized that illegals targeted under this deal have already received due process, and the IRS will only confirm addresses. The agency will not release full taxpayer files.

Per Fox News:

The Trump administration filed a memorandum of understanding late Monday with a court to create guardrails and a process for ICE requests to the IRS to further investigations of criminal illegal immigrants who have failed or refuse to leave the United States 90 days after a judge has issued a final order of removal.

“The Internal Revenue Service and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement have entered into a memorandum of understanding to establish a clear and secure process to support law enforcement’s efforts to combat illegal immigration,” a Treasury Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.

“The bases for this MOU are founded in longstanding authorities granted by Congress, which serve to protect the privacy of law-abiding Americans while streamlining the ability to pursue criminals,” the statement said. “After four years of Joe Biden flooding the nation with illegal aliens, President Trump’s highest priority is to ensure the safety of the American people.”

Additionally, the Memorandum of Understanding clarifies and outlines a process to ensure that sensitive taxpayer data information is protected.

A Treasury Department spokesperson added that the agreement “protects the privacy of law-abiding Americans.”

The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that sought to undermine one of the former president’s most critical reform initiatives: the power to remove entrenched federal bureaucrats who obstruct executive authority and resist change.

According to Bloomberg, the high court’s decision, which came over the objections of two dissenting justices, blocked a lower judge’s order that would have forced the reinstatement of employees axed from six government departments.

More from AP:

The justices acted in the administration’s emergency appeal of a ruling by a federal judge in California ordering that 16,000 probationary employees be reinstated while a lawsuit plays out because their firings didn’t follow federal law.

The effect of the high court’s order will keep employees in six federal agencies on paid administrative leave for now. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson said they would have kept the judge’s order in place.

A second lawsuit, filed in Maryland, also resulted in an order blocking the firings at those same six agencies, plus roughly a dozen more. But that order only applies in the 19 states and the District of Columbia that sued the administration.

The Justice Department is separately appealing the Maryland order.

At least 24,000 probationary employees have been terminated since Trump took office, the lawsuits claim, though the government has not confirmed that number.

Last month, US District Judge William Alsup, a Clinton appointee, ordered the Trump administration to rehire thousands of fired probationary employees in six federal agencies.

The judge blasted the Trump Administration and said he felt “misled by the US Government” as he ordered six federal agencies to offer reinstatement to fired probationary workers.

“It is a sad day when our government would fire some good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that’s a lie,” Judge Alsup said. “That should not have been done in our country. It was a sham in order to avoid statutory requirements.”

The six government agencies include: VA, DOD, Energy, Interior, Treasury and Agriculture.

President Trump wasted no time slamming the decision by the radical Clinton judge, calling it “absolutely ridiculous” and warning that it poses a “very dangerous” precedent for the country.

Speaking aboard Air Force One, President Trump was asked whether he planned to comply with the ruling. His response was as direct as ever:

“Well, I have nothing to do with that other than I heard about the decision. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous—absolutely. It’s a judge who’s putting himself in the position of the President of the United States, who was elected by close to 80 million votes. And you have that. You’re having more and more of that. It’s a very dangerous thing for our country, and I would suspect that we’re going to have to get a decision from the Supreme Court.”

Trump pointed out the absurdity of the ruling, highlighting how many of the terminated employees were barely showing up for work—if they even existed at all:

“These are people who, in many cases, don’t show up for work. Nobody even knows if they exist. And a judge wants us to pay them, even if they don’t know they exist. If they exist, I don’t think that’s going to be happening, but we’ll have to see. You have to speak to the lawyers about that.”

It may sound like the beginning of a Star Trek plot, but there’s a very real arms race going on in space.

And Russia may have just made the first move.

According to some startling reports, Russian military satellites have apparently launched unknown objects into Earth’s orbit.

Space.com described the trio of Russian satellites as “secretive” objects “whose purpose is unknown.”

“The three satellites, designated Kosmos 2581, 2582 and 2583, launched on a Soyuz-2.1V rocket from Plesetsk cosmodrome early on Feb. 2,” the outlet reports, adding that the satellites “have displayed interesting behavior.”

That behavior includes getting oddly close to other space objects.

That behavior also includes, according to IFL Science, a “new object” being launched into orbit on March 18.

Both reports cited Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer and social media spaceflight activity tracker, who noted the mid-March release.

Space Force have cataloged a new object associated with the Kosmos-2581/2582/2583 launch. It may have separated from Kosmos-2583 on Mar 18.

Also in March, U.S. officials spoke to CNN and outright accused Russia of practicing “attack and defend tactics” with its mysterious military space satellites.

“Russia wants to take away our advantages in space, and they don’t care about collateral damage,” one defense official told CNN.

Look, as someone who used to make fun of Trekkies once upon a time (don’t worry, this writer has since converted), it almost seems laughable to be concerned about what’s going on in space, when there are so many major issues right here on Earth.

Who cares what’s going on in space when you’re just trying to make it to your next paycheck?

But it really does matter.

Space is an incredibly vulnerable battlefield for America, both militarily and in terms of information collecting.

Yes, the U.S. Space Force became as much a meme as anything when it was introduced in 2019, but that belies how important it is for America to establish a foothold in space.

It’s something the Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk has frequently touted (Musk is convinced that mankind’s next big step is to live on Mars). Musk’s SpaceX, in fact, is about the best answer to Russian and Chinese space aggression that America has, given the endless government red tape that NASA has to cut through just to order a new coffeemaker for its Houston offices.

Space powers a startling amount of American logistics and force multipliers, so ceding it to any nation — let alone ones that aren’t exactly friendly with America like China and Russia — via negligence would be a grave, self-inflicted error.

And that bears true regardless of whatever it is that those Russian satellites just launched into orbit.

Despite the legacy media’s harsh criticism of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, many American industries are praising the welcome change they hope it will bring.

Look no further than the beef industry.

In a recent segment of “The Big Money Show,” Fox News reporter Kelly Saberi interviewed Illinois cattle farmer Alan Adams.

At one point, Saberi asked Adams what country he’s never been able to sell beef to.

Illinois cattle rancher says that President Trump’s tariffs are a gamechanger for the beef industry: “We’re happy that the President finally singled us out and said that we do need to increase our beef sales to other countries… It will be a great time for our industry.” pic.twitter.com/lxtKAq2rxI

“The European community has been a big market that we’d love to get to, and certainly Australia is another one that sells a lot of beef here in the United States, but we don’t get to sell to them,” Adams said.

Saberi then asked how the Trump tariffs would be a “game changer” for the cattle industry.

“We’re happy that the president finally singled us out and said that we do need to increase our beef sales to other countries, and that he’s going to try and make an effort to do that. So … it’ll be a great time for our industry if we can sell more, and have a better market and higher prices.”

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has also praised the tariffs.

Ethan Lane, NCBA senior vice president of government affairs, issued a statement after attending Trump’s “Liberation Day” speech at the White House on April 2.

“For too long, America’s family farmers and ranchers have been mistreated by certain trading partners around the world,” Lane’s statement read.

“President Trump is taking action to address numerous trade barriers that prevent consumers overseas from enjoying high-quality, wholesome American beef. NCBA will continue engaging with the White House to ensure fair treatment for America’s cattle producers around the world and optimize opportunities for exports abroad,” the statement read.

The statement continued to list which countries have most unfairly treated the American cattle industry.

Australia, which Adams mentioned in his Fox News interview, has reportedly sold $29 billion of beef to Americans, while the U.S. hasn’t sold $1 — due to Australia’s “non-scientific barriers.”

Vietnam, which places a 30 percent tariff on U.S. beef, reportedly does not levy such tariffs on Australia.

Thailand places a 50 percent tariff on U.S. beef.

And despite Brazil and Paraguay’s cattle having a history of dangerous foot-and-mouth disease, the Biden administration continued welcoming those countries’ beef products in the U.S.

The European Union also makes fair trade nearly impossible, with its non-scientific “Green Deal” restrictions on American beef, according to the NCBA.
