Trump Administration Faces Legal Scrutiny Over Deportations to El Salvador

On Friday, Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport illegal aliens, asserting the country faced an 'invasion' of criminal organizations like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered a halt to deportations, but planes had already left U.S. Airspace, according to a Trump administration official.
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele confirmed the arrival of 261 deportees at a prison known for its harsh conditions, responding to the judge's order by saying, 'Oopsie… too late.'
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the judge's order, emphasizing that it lacked a lawful basis and that courts do not have jurisdiction over foreign affairs under the Alien Enemies Act.
