Bondi DOJ files complaint alleging misconduct by Federal Judge James Boasberg
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Justice has filed an official complaint alleging misconduct by US District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg. Fox News has reviewed the complaint which was written by Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle and addressed to the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Sri Srinivasan.
Fox News has learned that the complaint was written and filed at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi.
WHO IS JAMES BOASBERG, THE US JUDGE AT THE CENTER OF TRUMP’S DEPORTATION EFFORTS?
«The Department of Justice respectfully submits this complaint alleging misconduct by U.S. District Court Chief Judge James E. Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Donald J. Trump to the Chief Justice of the United States and other federal judges that have undermined the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary,» says Mr. Mizelle.
Judge Boasberg is presiding over a high-profile case involving the deportation of several migrants to El Salvador and has talked about holding DOJ lawyers in contempt because of his assertion that his order to turn airborne planes around was not followed. President Trump has also made critical comments about Judge Boasberg.

The complaint details two occasions on which Judge Boasberg made comments the Justice Department alleges undermine the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.
«On March 11, 2025, Judge Boasberg attended a session of the Judicial Conference of the United States, which exists to discuss administrative matters like budgets, security, and facilities. While there, Judge Boasberg attempted to improperly influence Chief Justice Roberts and roughly two dozen other federal judges by straying from the traditional topics to express his belief that the Trump Administration would «disregard rulings of federal courts» and trigger «a constitutional crisis.» Although his comments would be inappropriate even if they had some basis, they were even worse because Judge Boasberg had no basis—the Trump Administration has always complied with all court orders. Nor did Judge Boasberg identify any purported violations of court orders to justify his unprecedented predictions.»

«Within days of those statements, Judge Boasberg began acting on his preconceived belief that the Trump Administration would not follow court orders. First, although he lacked authority to do so, he issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Government from removing violent Tren de Aragua terrorists, which the Supreme Court summarily vacated.
«Taken together, Judge Boasberg’s words and deeds violate Canons of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, and, erode public confidence in judicial neutrality, and warrant a formal investigation.»

The DOJ is asking Chief Judge Srinivasan to refer the complaint to a special investigative committee as an inquiry is essential to determine whether Judge Boasberg’s conduct constitutes «conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts.» The complaint also asks that Judge Boasberg be taken off the case involving Venezuelan migrants who were deported to El Salvador, «to prevent further erosion of public confidence while the investigation proceeds.»
The case in question is J.G.G. v Trump.
This is the second time the Bondi DOJ has filed an official complaint against a federal judge. In late February, the DOJ filed a complaint about US District Judge Ana Reyes, concerning what the DOJ calls Judge Reyes’ «misconduct» during the proceedings in Nicolas Talbott et al. v. Donald J. Trump et al., which is a case brought by two LGBTQ groups challenging the Trump Administration’s Executive Orders barring transgender individuals from serving in the US military.
News of the complaint comes at a time when the Trump administration has excoriated dozens of so-called «activist» judges who have blocked or paused some of Trump’s sweeping executive orders from taking force in his second White House term.
Judge Boasberg in particular found himself at the center of Trump’s ire and attacks on so-called «activist» judges this year, following his March 15 temporary restraining order that sought to block Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport hundreds of Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador.
Boasberg had ordered all planes bound for El Salvador to be «immediately» returned to U.S. soil, which did not happen.

His emergency order touched off a complex legal saga that ultimately spawned dozens of federal court challenges across the country – though the one brought before his court on March 15 was the very first – and later prompted the Supreme Court to rule, on two separate occasions, that the hurried removals had violated migrants’ due process protections under the U.S. Constitution.
Boasberg, as a result, emerged as the man at the center of the legal fallout.
Trump administration officials have repeatedly excoriated Boasberg both for his order and his attempt to determine whether they acted in good faith to comply with his orders, and Trump himself has floated the idea that Boasberg could be impeached earlier this year – prompting Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to issue a rare public warning.
The complaint, focused on months-old behavior and allegations surrounding Judge Boasberg— first tapped as a judge by then-President George W. Bush in 2002, comes at a time when he could again have a say in a major class action case brought by lawyers representing the former CECOT migrants.
Lawyers for the ACLU and others in the class asked Judge Boasberg earlier this month to reopen discovery in the case, citing allegations from a United Nations report regarding custodial status of migrants at CECOT, and the recent decision to remove the 252 migrants sent from the U.S. to El Salvador to Venezuela under the prisoner exchange.
Asked at a status hearing in court last week whether the Justice Department would comply with the court’s orders, DOJ lawyer Tiberius Davis said they would, «if it was a lawful order.»
They also said they would likely seek an appeal from a higher court.
In April, Judge Boasberg also ruled that the court had found «probable cause» to hold the Trump administration in contempt for failing to return the planes to U.S. soil, in accordance with his March 15 emergency order, and said the court had determined that the Trump administration demonstrated a «willful disregard» for his order.

FLASHBACK: Zohran Mamdani pledged to ‘disband’ key police unit that handles mass shootings
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As New York City reels from a deadly mass shooting in midtown Manhattan that killed four, including an NYPD officer, the Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is getting renewed attention for a recent pledge to eliminate a key police department responsible for riots, civil disorder and shootings.
Mamdani, who is currently in Uganda celebrating his wedding, has previously called to defund the police, though as a mayoral candidate, he has taken a much more subdued tone regarding policing.
However, while already a candidate for mayor, Mamdani pledged on X in December 2024 to «disband» the New York Police Department’s Strategic Response Group (SRG).
The SRG is one of the NYPD’s special operations units, which, according to the force’s official website, specializes in disorder response, crime suppression and crowd control and «responds to citywide mobilizations, civil disorders, and major events with highly trained personnel and specialized equipment.»

The website also says that SRG personnel are «also deployed to areas requiring an increased police presence due to increased crime or other conditions» and «mobilizes for shootings, bank robberies, missing persons, demonstrations, or other significant incidents.»
In December, Mamdani claimed that the NYPD had deployed the SRG to «harass + arrest striking @teamsters.»
Mamdani pledged: «As Mayor, I will disband the SRG, which has cost taxpayers millions in lawsuit settlements + brutalized countless New Yorkers exercising their first amendment rights.»
In response to the shooting, Mamdani has said, «I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts.»

He also noted he is «grateful for all of our first responders on the ground.»
On Monday, a lone gunman, later identified as Shane Tamura, walked into a midtown Manhattan office building and opened fire, killing four people before turning the gun on himself.
The four people killed in the shooting were identified as NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner, security guard Aland Etienne and Julia Hyman, an associate at Rudin Management.
The motive for the shooting remains unclear, but the gunman reportedly had a grievance with the NFL, blaming the sport of football for apparent issues with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a side effect from repeated hits to the head.

In response to the tragedy, Mayor Eric Adams, who is running for re-election as an independent, announced Tuesday that «as a mark of respect for the memory of NYPD Officer Didarul Islam who died in the line of duty and the multiple victims of the mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan at 345 Park Avenue yesterday, I’ve ordered all flags on all city buildings and stationary flagstaffs throughout the five boroughs to be lowered to half-staff until further notice.»

«Officer Didarul Islam died as he lived, a hero and protector of New York City. We will never forget you,» Adams wrote in another post on X.

Tsunami waves arrive on Japan’s coast after earthquake in Russia, triggering tsunami alerts for US West Coast
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Tsunami waves arrived on the eastern coast of Japan on Wednesday following a powerful earthquake off the eastern coast of Russia.
The 8.8 magnitude earthquake triggered fears of a tsunami across much of the Pacific Ocean basin, including the shores of Hawaii, southern Alaska, the entire U.S. West Coast and British Columbia.
Tsunami Warnings are in effect for Hawaii and parts of Alaska and the U.S. West Coast, while British Columbia is under a Tsunami Advisory after the earthquake struck just east of Petropavlovsk, Russia, according to FOX Weather.
Several people were injured in the remote Russian region of the Kamchatka Peninsula, while much of Japan’s eastern seaboard was ordered to evacuate.

«Today’s earthquake was serious and the strongest in decades of tremors,» Kamchatka Gov. Vladimir Solodov said in a video posted on Telegram.
A tsunami with a height of 10-13 feet was recorded in parts of Kamchatka, according to Sergei Lebedev, regional minister for emergency situations.
Several people underwent medical assistance after the earthquake, Oleg Melnikov, regional health minister, told TASS, a Russian-owned news agency.
«Unfortunately, there are some people injured during the seismic event. Some were hurt while running outside, and one patient jumped out of a window. A woman was also injured inside the new airport terminal,» Melnikov said.
«All patients are currently in satisfactory condition, and no serious injuries have been reported so far,» he added.
Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Services said the port in the Sakhalin town of Severo-Kurilsk and a fish processing plant in the area were partially flooded by a tsunami. People in the area have been evacuated.

A kindergarten was also damaged, but most buildings withstood the earthquake and no fatalities were reported, the ministry said.
Japan’s weather agency said it expected tsunami waves of up to 10 feet to reach large coastal areas.
Tsunami alarms sounded in coastal towns across Japan’s Pacific coast, as authorities urged people to seek higher ground.
Many people on the northern island of Hokkaido were seen on the roof of a building, sheltering under tents from the beating sun, as fishing boats were removed from harbors to avoid potential damage from the waves, according to footage on public broadcaster NHK.
No injuries or damage have been reported so far, Japan Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said.
Waves reaching more than 10 feet were possible along some coasts of Russia and Ecuador, while waves of three to 10 feet were possible in Japan, Hawaii, Chile and the Solomon Islands, the U.S. Tsunami Warning System said. Smaller waves were possible along coastlines across much of the Pacific, including the U.S. West Coast.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom later said a tsunami warning was in effect along parts of California’s north coast.
Hawaii ordered evacuations from some coastal areas. Residents of low-lying areas were urged to either move to higher ground or to the fourth floor of a building.
«People need to evacuate, that’s very clear,» Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said in a video posted to X.
«Take Action! Destructive tsunami waves expected,» the Honolulu Department of Emergency Management wrote on X.

Un terremoto de 8,8 grados provocó un tsunami en Rusia y Japón: hay alerta en el océano Pacífico
Un terremoto de magnitud 8,8 grados en la escala de Ritcher sacudió este martes la costa este de Rusia, informó el Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos (USGS). El poderoso sismo desencadenó un tsunami en la costa este de Rusia y el norte de Japón.
Las autoridades rusas evacuaron a más de 2 mil personas en Severo-Kurilsk, donde se registraron inundaciones, mientras que la alerta por tsunami se extendió a gran parte del Pacífico, América Latina y Oceanía.

Videos difundidos en redes sociales muestran calles anegadas y edificios parcialmente sumergidos por el agua de mar. Aunque varias personas resultaron heridas, no hubo reportes de gravedad, según la prensa oficial.
El epicentro se situó a unos 136 kilómetros al este de la ciudad de Petropávlovsk-Kamtchatski, en la península de Kamchatka, a una profundidad de 19 kilómetros.

Japón evacuó la planta nuclear de Fukushima
En Japón, la Agencia Meteorológica alertó que “los tsunamis golpearán repetidamente” y pidió a la población mantenerse alejada de la costa. En Hokkaido se registró una ola inicial de 30 centímetros, y se evacuó preventivamente a los trabajadores de la planta nuclear de Fukushima, arrasada en 2011 por un desastre similar. Algunas líneas ferroviarias fueron suspendidas como medida de precaución. Tras el sismo en Kamchatka: así quedó una playa en Japón antes y después de la evacuación por alerta de tsunami.

En Chile, el Servicio Hidrográfico y Oceanográfico de la Armada evalúa la amenaza de maremoto para la costa de ese país. Ecuador también aparece entre los países que podrían verse afectados por olas de más de tres metros de alto como consecuencia del terremoto frente a la costa de Rusia, informó el Centro de alerta de tsunamis de Estados Unidos.
El presidente chileno, Gabriel Boric, afirmó este miércoles en redes sociales: “Tenemos alerta de tsunami para toda la costa de Chile. El protocolo es evacuar 3 horas antes de la estimación de llegada de la ola. Estaremos informando en detalle los pasos a seguir. Mantengan la calma y solo sigan instrucciones de autoridades”. El mar comenzó a retroceder en Severo-Kurilsk, en Rusia, y dejó al descubierto la destrucción en el puerto tras el tsunami. (Foto: X/@AlertaNews24).
En México, la Marina alertó sobre “corrientes fuertes en la entrada de los puertos” desde Baja California hasta Chiapas, mientras que Protección Civil instó a la población a alejarse de las costas. Estados Unidos activó alertas en toda la franja costera desde Alaska hasta California, incluyendo Hawái.
La alerta de tsunami también rige para todo el litoral de Perú y una advertencia de alta probabilidad para las Islas Galápagos, en Ecuador.
La Dirección de Hidrografía y Navegación de la Marina de Guerra del Perú lanzó la alerta tras realizar varias evaluaciones técnicas del evento sísmico. Aunque no se precisaron las horas exactas de llegada de las olas, se advirtió que el fenómeno podría afectar toda la franja costera del país.
Las autoridades remarcaron que un tsunami no es una ola única, sino una serie de ondas que pueden alcanzar la costa a intervalos de entre cinco minutos y una hora. “El peligro puede persistir por muchas horas después del arribo de la primera onda”, señalaron.

El Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos (USGS) corrigió la magnitud inicial del sismo de 8,0 a 8,8, y lo calificó como el más fuerte en la región desde 1952. Se registraron al menos seis réplicas, incluyendo una de magnitud 6,9. La península de Kamchatka, ubicada en el “Anillo de Fuego del Pacífico”, es una de las zonas sísmicas más activas del planeta.
