Press Secretary Leavitt erupted in anger during a recent briefing, condemning a Boston district court judge’s ruling that jeopardizes the administration’s immigration policy. In a fiery response, Leavitt criticized the judge for allegedly creating new immigration laws that undermine national security and diplomatic relations.
The controversy centers around a deportation flight carrying individuals with criminal histories, including a violent offender who has evaded removal for over two decades. Leavitt emphasized that this administration has complied with all court orders, yet the judge’s ruling threatens to halt the deportation of these individuals, raising alarms about the integrity of the U.S. immigration system.
“This judge is not only undermining our immigration system but also our diplomatic negotiations with countries around the world,” Leavitt declared. The press secretary highlighted the potential repercussions for international trust, questioning how foreign nations can rely on the U.S. when radical judicial decisions obstruct repatriation efforts.
The situation escalates further as ICE agents are reportedly stranded in Djibouti for weeks, lacking the necessary resources to handle these deportees. “It’s truly despicable what’s happening in our court system,” Leavitt stated, asserting that the safety of ICE agents is at risk due to the judge’s ruling.
As tensions mount, the administration is counting on the Supreme Court to intervene and restore order to immigration policy. Leavitt’s remarks underscore a growing frustration with what he calls “liberal activist judges” who threaten to disrupt the executive branch’s authority over foreign policy. The unfolding drama highlights a critical clash between judicial power and executive action, with national security hanging in the balance.
