Trump administration accuses judge of overstepping in Venezuela deportations case

  • The Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, but Judge James Boasberg blocked this action, stating that "any plane containing these folks...needs to be returned to the United States."
  • Judge Boasberg temporarily halted the deportation flights, prompting the White House to claim that the planes were already out of US airspace during his ruling.
  • The American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward filed a lawsuit against the deportations, arguing that the Alien Enemies Act cannot be used in peacetime.
  • Three deportation flights carrying 238 members of the Tren de Aragua gang left the U.S. for El Salvador, a move confirmed by El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele.
