Trump rages about ‘long and tedious trials’ in rant against due process

President Donald Trump recently posted a lengthy screed to social media lamenting that federal judges were making him abide by basic constitutional principles.In a Wednesday evening post to his Truth Social platform, Trump lashed out at the lower court judge that said he had probable cause to hold the administration in contempt for its disregarding of a court order. While Trump didn’t mention U.S. District Judge James Boasberg by name, he complained that he was being made to provide immigrants he sought to deport with due process — something the American justice system guarantees to all people regardless of their citizenship status.”Can you believe it? A Judge ruled against us … saying that [immigrants] can’t be looked at as a group, but that each case has to be tried individually. Based on the Court System, that would take approximately 100 years,” the 45th and 47th president of the United States wrote. “What is going on with our Courts? They are totally OUT OF CONTROL.”READ MORE: ‘Deeply corrosive to the rule of law’: High-ranking senator blocks Trump’s top prosecutors”They seem to hate ‘TRUMP’ so much, that anything goes!” he continued. “This Radicalized Judge is saying that Sleepy Joe Biden can fly more than half a million Illegals into America, IN ONE DAY, but we have to hold many years of long and tedious trials to fly each and every one of them back home. Where is the JUSTICE here???”Boasberg did not immediately issue a contempt order, and only said that he would “launch proceedings to determine whether to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt,” according to the Washington Post. The judge added: “The Court does not reach such conclusion lightly or hastily.”Trump’s comment comes as his administration is actively resisting a 9-0 decision from the United States Supreme Court to “facilitate” the return of Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the government admitted was mistakenly deported to El Salvador and jailed in its notorious maximum security CECOT prison. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis (appointed by former President Barack Obama) has ordered members of the Trump Department of Justice to go under oath in relation to Abrego Garcia’s wrongful deportation.U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi defended his continued detention in El Salvador and tweeted what she asserted was evidence that he was a member of the MS-13 gang. Podcaster Jason Selvig posted a screenshot of a page with text that reads Abrego Garcia “has no criminal history,” and commented: “You’re welcome.”READ MORE: ‘Cannot and will not support’: 12 Republicans just dealt a blow to Johnson’s budget bill
