Trump’s administration deports hundreds while the judge orders them to stop the aircraft that are already in the air
Trump’s administration transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even while the federal judge issuedorderTemporarily banning the deportations under the 18th -century war declaration, which focused on members of the Venecuela gang, the official said on Sunday. The flights were in the air at the time of the judgment.
American District Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order on Saturday that blocked deportations, but lawyers told him that there were already two planes with immigrants in the air – one headed for El Salvador and the other for Honduras. Boasberg verbally ordered the planes to turn, but obviously they were not and he did not include the directive in his written order.
In the court on Sunday, the Ministry of Justice, which complained at Boasberg’s decision, said the immigrants “were already removed from the US territory” when the written order was published at 19:26.
Trump’s allies were cheerful for the results.
“Oopsie … too late,” wrote Salvadorane Nayib Bukele, who agreed to accommodate about 300 immigrants a year at a price of $ 6 million in his country’s prisons, he wrote on the social media website website X Above the article on Boasberg’s verdict. This post was recirculated by the Director of the Communication of the White House, Steven Cheung.
State Secretary Marco Rubio, who was negotiating an earlier contract with Bukele in the accommodation of immigrants, published on the site: “We sent over 250 members of the aliens of aliens a moment of de Aragua, which El Salvador agreed to keep in his very good prisons at a FER price that will also save our taxes.”
Steve Vladck, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, said that a verbal boasberg -turning directive is technically not part of his last order, but that Trump’s administration has obviously violated the “spirit” of it.
“This only encourages future courts to be hyper specific in their orders and do not give the Government any Wiggle room,” Vladeck said.
Immigrants were deported after Trump’s statement aboutEnemary Enemies Lawfrom 1798, which was only usedthree timesIn American history.
The law, which is called during the 1812 and World War I, requires the president to declare that the United States is in the war, giving him extraordinary authority to detention or removal of foreigners who would otherwise have protection under immigration or criminal law. He last justified the detention of Japanese-American civilians during World War II.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice on Sunday referred to the earlier statement of Pamo Bonda Attorney General, who exploded at Boasberg’s verdict and did not immediately answer the questions whether the administration neglected the court’s order.
In a statement on Sunday, the Venezuela government rejected the use of Trump’s statement on the law, characterizing it as a evocative “darkest episode in human history, from slavery to horrorNazi concentration campsites. “
Too de AraguaOriginally in the infamous iniquity prison in the Central State of Aragu and followed the exodus of millions of Venezuelanians, the vast majority of whom were looking for better living conditions after their economy in the country had gone over the past decade. Trump caught a gang during his painting campaignerrorPictures of communities he claimed “took over” what was actually a handful of law.
Trump’s administration did not identify deported immigrants, provided that the members of the de Aragua were actually committed or committed any crimes in the United States. He also sent two upper members of the Salvadorane MS-13 gangEl Salvadorarrested in the United States.
The video posted on Sunday by El Salvador’s Government showed that men are coming out of the aircraft to the airport plane lined up by officers in Riot Gear. The men, who had hands and ankles, fought to walk as the police pushed their heads down to bend them at the waist.
The video also showed that men were transported to prison in a large bus convoy guarded by police and military vehicles and at least one helicopter. Men showed that they kneel on the ground while their heads were shaved before changing into prison completely white uniform-shorts pants lengths of knees, T-shirt, socks and rubber clogs and put in cells.

Trump’s administration announced that the President actually signed the proclamation, claiming that the DE Aragua had attacked the United States on Friday night, but did not announce it until Saturday afternoon. Immigration lawyers said that, late Friday, they noticed Venezuelan, who could not otherwise be deported by the Immigration Act, which was transferred to Texas for flights of deportation. They began to file lawsuits to stop the transfers.
“Basically, any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on the pretext that it belongs to the Treas of de Aragua, without a chance of defense,” warned Adam Isacson of the Washington Latin Office, a human rights group, warned of X.
The litigation that led to retention of deportations was filed on behalf of the five Venezuelanians held in Texas, who were said to be worried that they would be falsely accused of being gang members. Once the law was called, they warned, Trump could simply declare anyone a member of a moment de Aragua and remove them from the country.
On Saturday morning, Boasberg banned these deportations of the Venezuelanians, when the lawsuit was filed, but only expanded to all people in the federal custody that could be targeted by the law after an afternoon hearing. He noted that the law had never been used beyond the congress announced before and that prosecutors could successfully claim that Trump had exceeded his legal authority in calling.
The deportation bar is up to 14 days, and immigrants will remain in the federal custody during this time. Boasberg scored a hearing on Friday to listen to additional arguments in that case.
He said he had to act because immigrants whose deportations can actually be violated by the US Constitution deserve the opportunity to listen to in court.
“Once they get out of the country,” Boasberg said, “I could do a little.”
