The DC Circuit slaps down Judge Boasberg's ridiculous contempt case against Trump:
To recap the situation with this rogue judge:

Judge Boasberg “predicts” that the Trump Admin will violate court orders.

A few days later, Judge Boasberg serendipitously gets a case involving the removal of the most violent members of a foreign terrorist organization.

Judge Boasberg issues an injunction and is promptly flipped by the Supreme Court because he lacked jurisdiction over the case.

Boasberg now concludes that Trump Admin has violated his unlawful injunction and finds probable cause to hold the government in contempt.

DC Circuit stays his probable cause finding.

Boasberg next issues a preliminary injunction holding that the removal of these violent aliens violated due process.

DC Circuit issues an administrative stay of that ruling.

Boasberg complains that the DC Circuit is taking too long to adjudicate his rulings.

DC Circuit promptly vacates Boasberg’s contempt finding.

As Judge Katsas of the DC Circuit recognized, Judge Boasberg’s order raised “troubling” questions of judicial control over core Executive functions and prompted an “extraordinary, ongoing confrontation” between the Executive and Judicial branches. We are not dealing with a good faith disagreement over the law.
