According to NBC News, the Trump administration faced scrutiny from a federal judge on Monday for failing to comply with his order. Boasberg criticized the Department of Justice’s argument that a written order took precedence over his oral directive, calling it "a stretch." Justice Department attorney Abhishek Kambli refused to disclose details about deportation flights, citing national security. Boasberg ordered answers by Tuesday noon and scheduled another hearing on Friday. The Justice Department sought to remove Boasberg from the case, arguing his inquiry endangered national security.
