  • A federal judge will come face-to-face with Justice Department attorneys Friday in the wake of President Donald Trump's call for his impeachment over how the jurist has handled a challenge to Trump's use of a sweeping wartime authority to quickly deport some noncitizens.

The article discusses a legal confrontation between Judge James Boasberg and the Trump administration's Justice Department over the continuation of deportation flights during the ongoing global health crisis. The tension stems from a lawsuit filed by immigrant rights groups challenging the Trump administration's decision to resume deportation flights to countries with high infection rates, arguing that these actions could exacerbate the spread of the virus. Judge Boasberg, known for his previous rulings against the administration's immigration policies, is set to hear arguments on whether these flights should be halted. The Justice Department contends that deportations are essential for national security and public safety, while critics argue that the flights are not only inhumane but also potentially illegal under current health guidelines. This case highlights the broader conflict between immigration enforcement and public health concerns during the global health crisis.
