Trump’s administration transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador, even when the federal judge issued an order temporarily forbidden deportations in accordance with the 18th -century war declaration, which was targeting members of the Venecuelan 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 temporarily blocking deportations, but lawyers told him that there were already two aircraft 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.
Karolina Leavitt’s White House secretary, in a statement on Sunday, replied to speculation of whether the administration was the order of the court: “The administration did not ‘refuse to adhere to the court order. The order, which had no legal basis, was issued after TDA Aliens’ terrorist TDA Aliens.

In the court on Sunday, the Ministry of Justice, which complained at Boasberg’s decision, said he would not use Trump’s proclamation that blocked for further deportations if his decision was not canceled.
Trump’s allies were cheerful for the results.
“Oopsie – too late,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukela, who agreed to accommodate about 300 immigrants for one year at a price of $ 6 million in his country’s prisons, wrote on the website of social media X above the Boasberg’s Article. This post was recirculated by the Director of the Communication of the White House, Steven Cheung.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who negotiated more earlier contracts with Bukele in the accommodation of immigrants, published in place: “We sent over 250 members of enemy enemies a moment of de Aragua, who agreed to keep El Salvador in his very good prisons at a FER price that will also save our tax dollars.”
Immigrants were deported after Trump’s statement by the Law on External Enemies of 1798, which used only three times in American history.
US President Donald Trump quickly follows his promise to break the illegal immigration of raids and deportation. Trump is now advocating for a huge increase in consumption on the limit security and reform of immigration.
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.
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 the horror of Nazi concentration camps.”
The de -Aragua was created in the infamous iniquity prison in the Central State of Aragua and followed the exodus of millions of Venezuelans, the vast majority of whom were looking for better living conditions after the economy of their state had been canceled during the last decade. Trump seized the band during his campaign to paint the misconception of the image of communities, which he claimed to “took over” from 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 top members of the Salvadorane MS-13 gang in El Salvador arrested in the United States.
The deports were taken to the infamous Cecot object, the central part of Bukele’s pressure to calm its former country relaxed by violence through heavy police measures and restrictions of basic rights.
Storm of litigation
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.
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.”
