Trump Administration Defends Deportation of Venezuelan Gang Members Amid Legal and Judicial Clash
Over 200 alleged gang members were deported to El Salvador, defying a federal judge's order, as debates intensify over executive authority and judicial independence.
- The Trump administration deported over 200 alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to El Salvador, invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
- Federal Judge James Boasberg issued an order to halt the deportations, arguing the law was inapplicable, but the administration proceeded, claiming flights were already underway.
- Reports suggest two of the three deportation flights could have been turned back, raising questions about the administration's compliance with the court order.
- Trump has called for Judge Boasberg's impeachment, while the Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts publicly rebuked this, emphasizing judicial independence.
- Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has protested the deportations at the UN, and human rights organizations have condemned the actions as potential violations of international law.
