Episode notes
Probable Cause For Criminal Contempt
- Judge Boasberg found probable cause of criminal contempt for transferring 200 Venezuelans despite his order and is pursuing further fact-finding.
- The administration's actions suggest potential willful violation of a court order that could lead to a criminal referral.
Admission Pins Decision On Noem
- The government admitted Kristi Noem gave the order to continue transfers, contradicting earlier attributions.
- That admission focuses accountability squarely on Noem and elevates the judge's scrutiny.
Affidavit Was Too Thin
- Kristi Noem's two-paragraph affidavit was insufficient and perceived as dismissive by the judge.
- Sparse declarations prompted the court to seek fuller testimony rather than accept cursory explanations.
