Trump's message comes after Boasberg, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., extended a restraining order on Friday against the use of the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 wartime immigration law, by the Trump administration to deport violent gang members with alleged ties to gangs, such as Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TdA).
Boasberg ruled the extension will run through April 12.

On March 15, Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to halt its deportations of illegal immigrants under the wartime powers act.
Planes carrying hundreds of suspected gang members, however, had already flown from the U.S. to El Salvador, where the nation's president had offered to take illegal immigrants of any nationality facing deportation in the U.S. in February, booking the illegal aliens in his country's notorious prison system.

"This case presents fundamental questions about who decides how to conduct sensitive national-security-related operations in this country – the President, through Article II, or the judiciary," acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris told the Supreme Court. "The Constitution supplies a clear answer: the president. The republic cannot afford a different choice."
