Trump pledges to follow court orders after setbacks

independent.co.uk

Former President Donald Trump stated that his administration would not openly defy court orders despite recent court rulings against his policies. In an interview with Fox News, Trump discussed his experiences with the legal system, claiming he has faced more courts than anyone else. Trump noted that he has been involved in many lawsuits, both criminal and civil, and criticized the judges overseeing these cases. He suggested that the judges are "very bad" and should not have the authority to make decisions that affect his presidency. His comments came after a federal judge, James Boasberg, held a hearing regarding the administration's deportation efforts. Boasberg had ordered a halt to deportations of Venezuelan nationals while a lawsuit was underway. Despite this, some deportation flights continued, leading to a tense exchange during the hearing where Judge Boasberg expressed frustration over the government's actions. Trump argued that his administration's plans would eventually be supported by the Supreme Court, which includes three justices he appointed. He emphasized the need to remove dangerous individuals from the country, claiming that local judges were overstepping their bounds for publicity.
