Jim Jordan has questions:

Jordan’s statements, made during interviews with Fox News hosts Bill Hemmer and Brian Kilmeade, highlight his intent to investigate judicial overreach, specifically targeting Boasberg’s recent rulings and past judicial record. The hearing, scheduled to begin as early as next week, aims to address nationwide injunctions and the politically motivated decisions, particularly in the context of President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. In an interview with Bill Hemmer, Jordan’s criticism centers on Boasberg’s temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s invocation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport individuals accused of being part of the Tren de Aragua gang. Boasberg’s order, issued on March 15, 2025, directed that deportation flights be halted and any planes in the air be turned around. Jordan argues that this decision is “ridiculous” and politically driven, asserting that Trump’s actions are constitutionally sound under Article II, Section 1, which vests executive power in the President, and statutorily supported by the Alien Enemies Act, which allows the President to detain or remove enemy aliens during times of war or “predatory incursion.”
