United States President Donald Trump, during an interview with Fox News, called US District Court Judge James Boasberg "radical left" after the judge temporarily blocked his administration's deportation of immigrants, ordering the planes they were in to be turned back.
"He's radical left, he's Obama-appointed," Trump said, adding, "he actually said that we shouldn't be able to take criminals, killers, murderers ... the worst people, gang members, gang leaders, that we shouldn't be able to take them out of our country." Furthermore, he stated that he felt such decisions should be made by the president and that it is 'not for a local judge to be making that determination."
Trump also mentioned the order to bring the planes that the immigrants were on back to the US, which the White House opted against, commenting that it wasn't something "the country would stand for."
