A federal judge has mandated the U.S. Justice Department to submit a sworn declaration detailing the deportation of alleged Tren de Aragua members, in light of a temporary restraining order he issued. The case examines the compliance with judicial orders, focusing on the timing of an oral versus a written order, and whether the government's argument of the planes being outside U.S. custody can override these orders. The ACLU and Democracy Forward are contesting these deportations, pushing for broader protections under existing rulings.
Judge Boasberg stated that any planes containing individuals affected by the restraining order should be turned around immediately, underscoring the urgency of complying with judicial directives.
Justice Department officials claimed the restraining order arrived too late to halt deportations, citing operational timelines that positioned planes beyond U.S. jurisdiction.
