DC Circuit oral arguments in appeal challenging TRO and contempt inquiry

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit hears oral arguments in the appeal challenging Judge Boasberg's original TRO and contempt authority. The panel, comprised of Judges Rao, Walker, and Childs, questions whether Boasberg's initial order was sufficiently clear and specific to support a criminal contempt finding. Trump administration counsel argues that executive immigration authority precludes judicial contempt enforcement.
