A federal judge is giving the Justice Department until Wednesday at noon to provide him, under seal, with more information about deportations the Trump administration carried out pursuant to President Donald Trump’s use of a sweeping wartime authority.

The Justice Department argued that it did comply with the judge's written order, suggesting that his verbal ruling did not count.

Judge Boasberg's role overseeing a new case that challenges the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador has cast an even brighter light on the longtime judge.
