The Trump administration faced off against federal judge James Boasberg over deportation flights for Venezuelan gang members, asserting that the order wasn't clear enough to warrant returning planes. Boasberg expressed disbelief at the decision to proceed as normal rather than return the planes. This incident comes amid President Trump's controversial use of the Alien Enemies Act to carry out deportations without due process for Venezuelans over 14 associated with the Tren de Aragua gang. Additionally, the administration is withdrawing from an international body investigating the Ukraine invasion, indicating a shift in US foreign policy favoring Russia.
The administration argued that despite Judge Boasberg's instructions, they could not return deportation flights as it was not explicitly included in the formal order.
Judge Boasberg expressed incredulity at the administration's stance, questioning why they didn't choose the responsible option of recalling the planes to proceed lawfully.
In a controversial move, President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to facilitate the deportation of Venezuelans, bypassing traditional legal processes.
The Trump administration's withdrawal from an investigative body for the Ukraine invasion signals a shift towards a more favorable alignment with Russia.
