• The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Judge James Boasberg.
• The lawsuit accuses the judge of making inappropriate comments about Trump.
• The lawsuit could lead to an investigation and sanctions.

July 29, 2025, Washington — The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Judge James Boasberg, who oversees several cases related to the Trump administration, including a case about deportation to El Salvador.

The lawsuit was filed by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and claims that Boasberg made inappropriate comments during a court hearing in the case. Along with the lawsuit, the court is seeking to compel the chief judge, John Roberts, and other judges to express the opinion that the Trump administration may be prejudicing judicial decisions.

The document notes that Boasberg's comments undermine trust in the judicial system. He also did not provide any evidence to support his claims about potential violations by the administration.

The lawsuit calls for an investigation and possible reassignment of the deportation case to another judge while the investigation continues. Sanctions may also be imposed, including a recommendation about impeachment, should the judge be found to be biased.

It is noteworthy that Boasberg has already suspended deportation flights to El Salvador, which has caused tension between him and the Trump administration.
