deportee

Boasberg said that Trump administration officials violated his orders by not stopping a plane carrying deportees to El Salvador.

Urias said she suspects that the Trump administration’s looming tariff threats have made some countries more willing to cooperate and accept deportees.

In fact, all 200 or so deportees on those flights have been illegally rendered to El Salvador in blatant defiance of a judge’s court order to stop them or return those already in the air.

The Supreme Court initially ruled on 8 April that Trump could use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members, but deportees must be given a chance to challenge their removal.

The Trump administration ignored his order, openly mocking the judge on social media with footage of deportees at the prison.
