A federal judge dismissed a misconduct complaint filed by the Department of Justice against Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. Boasberg oversaw a case related to the Alien Enemies Act last year.<\/p>\n

The complaint, filed by Attorney General Pam Bondi\u2019s office in July 2025, alleged that Boasberg, an Obama appointee, made \u201cimproper public comments\u201d about President Donald Trump to Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts and other federal judges \u201cthat have undermined the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.\u201d The DOJ claimed that Boasberg made the comments at a semiannual judicial conference the previous March, where he warned that Trump would \u201cdisregard rulings of federal courts\u201d and trigger \u201ca constitutional crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boasberg previously ruled against Trump\u2019s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to carry out his mass deportation plans. Last March, Boasberg imposed restrictions on the federal government from removing anyone under the law. Despite Boasberg\u2019s order, the Department of Homeland Security removed more than 200 noncitizens from the U.S. to a notorious prison in El Salvador.<\/p>\n

Boasberg\u2019s efforts to pursue contempt proceedings against administration officials, related to questions about compliance with that order, have been on hold since mid-December.<\/p>\n

In his dismissal of the misconduct complaint, Jeffrey Sutton, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, said that the DOJ failed to provide sufficient evidence of Boasberg\u2019s supposedly prejudicial statements and noted that such conversations between judges are normal during this kind of event. Sutton\u2019s decision was issued Dec. 19.<\/p>\n

\u201cA key point of the Judicial Conference and the related meetings is to facilitate candid conversations about judicial administration among leaders of the federal judiciary about matters of common concern,\u201d Sutton wrote. \u201cIn these settings, a judge\u2019s expression of anxiety about executive-branch compliance with judicial orders, whether rightly feared or not, is not so far afield from customary topics at these meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n
