Trump Administration Faces Legal Scrutiny Over Deportations to El Salvador

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered a halt to deportations, but planes had already taken off when the order was issued.
A total of 261 individuals were deported to El Salvador, including gang members and those convicted of serious crimes, as confirmed by a senior official.
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele confirmed the arrival of the deported individuals, indicating acceptance of those taken to a high-security prison.
