US EditionDOJ acknowledges Kristi Noem made decision to continue deportation flights to El Salvador despite judge’s order
Kristi Noem authorized deportations of 137 Venezuelan men under the Alien Enemies Act despite a judge’s order, citing legal advice and a crackdown on violent crime.
- Department of Justice filings this week identify Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as authorizing the deportation of 100 Venezuelan men in March despite a federal judge's order, disclosed in a filing for Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's inquiry.
- A federal judge, James Boasberg, issued both oral and written orders on March 15 requiring the return of alleged Tren de Aragua members to the U.S. and blocking their removal.
- Justice Department officials said they communicated the judge’s orders and provided legal guidance to the Department of Homeland Security’s acting general counsel.
- After receiving that advice, Noem determined that detainees who had already been removed before the court’s order could still be transferred to El Salvador.
- The Justice Department responded that no live testimony is warranted, argued its actions did not violate Judge James Boasberg's order, and noted higher courts emphasized due process.
