The Boasberg File
Chief Judge, District of Columbia. Seven years on the FISA court, including a turn as presiding judge. Then J.G.G. v. Trump: Alien Enemies Act TROs on a Saturday, impeachment articles by Tuesday, a Supreme Court vacatur in April, a contempt paper, a CECOT class, a Justice Department misconduct complaint that Sutton dismissed, and a D.C. Circuit mandamus that told him to end the inquiry. This is not a biography. It is the episodes. Facts are cited. Opinion is marked. A TRO is not a Supreme Court holding. Articles of impeachment are not a conviction.
Compiled as a critical briefing, in the voice of a packet. Identity: About. Not a court. Not a White House product. No invented quotes, crimes, or impeachment conviction.

March 15, 2025
No. 1:25-cv-00766-JEB. Temporary restraining orders against removals under the Tren de Aragua proclamation. The Supreme Court vacated them. Not dumped again as a photo card below.
