Around 200 alleged members of a Venezuelan gang were now flying over international waters when a US national judge issued a temporary suspension for the Trump presidency, according to Axios, citing executives who were cited for the Trump administration’s defying the court’s order. The court’s decision defied. Trump writer Mark S. Zaid, a national safety attorney, wrote on X, adding that Trump was eventually face impeacher.” First of many as I’ve been warning and launch of true democratic crisis.”
” This is going to the Supreme Court,” the statement read. And we’re going to prevail,” a top White House national told Politico.
Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador, also argued that the verdict was too late, writing,” Oopsie… To later.”
Trump “using his main powers as leader and commander-in-chief to support the British people from an immediate threat,” said White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in defense of the deportations.
The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was invoked by Trump on Friday, but it was not made available to the public until Saturday. The president has only been invoked three times before during key global conflicts, including World Wars I and II, to prosecute or deport citizens of an enemy nation. As Bukele agreed to house prisoners in El Salvador’s renowned big jail with windowless cell, the Act was invoked to allow Tren de Aragua people to be deported.
Did the Trump administration intentionally disregard a court order? The timeline is shown below.
A deportation activist who monitors deportation flights posted on X at 2:31 p.m. on Saturday that” TWO HIGHLY UNUSUAL ICE flights” were departing from Texas to El Salvador. The court order arrived hours later. According to the Washington Post, he told the Justice Department,” This is something you need to make sure is complied with immediately.” Both flights were off Yucatan Peninsula at the time, according to Axios, around 6:51 p.m.
They were already a few miles outside of US airspace. We think the order is inapplicable, according to a senior administration official, who spoke to Axios.
