Appeals court signals support for contempt inquiry on deportation flights
A US federal appeals court has signalled support for opening a contempt inquiry into deportation flights carried out despite court orders. The development escalates the standoff between the judiciary and the Trump administration over removals conducted without allowing legal challenges, and raises the prospect of sanctions or accountability proceedings against officials who ignored judicial instructions.
Why now: The case tests whether courts can enforce their orders against the executive branch, a major separation-of-powers flashpoint.
