President Donald Trump's administration accused a federal judge on Wednesday of overstepping his judicial authority in demanding more details about flights deporting hundreds of Venezuelan migrants in an escalating confrontation between the executive and judicial branches of the U.

President Trump's administration is at loggerheads with a federal judge over the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. Judge Boasberg has temporarily blocked the deportations, claiming Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act is unwarranted.

The federal judge who ruled against Donald Trump’s deportation plans and is now facing White House calls for his impeachment is no stranger to politically fraught cases — including ones involving the president.
