Pound sand is a nicer way of saying go ef yourself, but the sentiment is the same.
FTA:
"The Trump administration will not comply with a court order requiring due process for hundreds of Venezuelan migrants deported to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador last year, DOJ lawyers said,” reports Fox News Digital. "It sets up a heated clash in court next week in a case that is almost certainly headed back to the Supreme Court.”
The status and plight of 252 Venezuelan migrants deported to a Salvadoran prison last March under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act have emerged as one of the defining court fights of Trump’s second term, allowing the administration to test its mettle against the federal courts and the practical limits of judicial authority, on one of Trump’s biggest policy priorities.
It's a fight that has also put U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who is overseeing the Alien Enemies Act case, squarely in the Trump administration's crosshairs as he attempts to determine what due process protections, if any, the administration is legally obligated to provide and how far the courts can go to enforce them.
A new filing from the Justice Department made clear the administration believes it owes the migrants no additional due process at all. Should the court try to order otherwise, lawyers for the administration said they would promptly seek intervention from higher courts/
The GOP refused to impeach this clown and he's still at work now to thwart the will of the American People and prevent our government from doing it's duty under the Constitution. SCOTUS has already ruled in Trump's favor on this and Boasberg has simply ignored the superior court.
Not only did Boasberg face an impeachment inquiry (which failed) but he was also referred for ethics violation and another judge dismissed those charges without a hearing.
The fact is Trump is following the letter of the law and Boasberg knows it. He's simply writing his own law now. The President is a coequal branch of government and this judge has no right to reverse Trump's policies in this matter; the Constitution gives the President all the power with regards to immigration law.
I'm afraid we need to take stronger action against this guy. Go through his taxes. Look into his associations. I'm sure there is something dirty with this guy. Let's find it.

Hooray! This renegade needs to be told, in terms that even he can understand (which may not be easy), that there are lanes that judges need to stay in. And there need to be penalties for those who stray. The one mistake our Founders made was in not establishing those; they felt the Judiciary was going to be the weakest of the three branches of government, and I'm sure they are looking down from Heaven saying "Boys, we blew that one." Maybe using more formal language...

The Anti-Federalists argued bitterly about not giving the judiciary this kind of power and they were correct. Hamilton argues in the Federalist Papers that - without money or an enforcement mechanism - the judiciary was powerless and easily controlled. He didn't understand the cowardice of the elected branches, who use the judiciary as a tool to get what they want without paying a political price.
The Founders needed a mechanism to remove judges beside impeachment. They blew it.
