In a recent press briefing, ABC News' Rachel Scott pressed Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the lack of transparency on deported alleged gang members sent to El Salvador. Amid calls for the impeachment of Judge James Boasberg for blocking Trump's deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, Leavitt maintained that the deportations were justified under executive authority. The administration refused to disclose operational details about the deportations, insisting on their '100% confidence' in the assessments of I.C.E. agents, even as questions arose about privacy rights and the rationale behind their decisions.
Leavitt emphasized that the administration has acted with '100% confidence' in their deportation decisions, protecting the operational details of counterterrorism.
Scott questioned why the White House could share images yet not identities, highlighting a potential inconsistency in transparency regarding deported individuals.
