Trump administration set for legal fights after carrying out deportations despite court orders US politics live
Briefly

The Trump administration is embroiled in multiple legal disputes related to controversial deportations that have allegedly violated court orders. In Massachusetts, Judge Leo Sorokin is demanding answers regarding the deportation of Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a kidney specialist who held a valid US visa but was sent back to Lebanon without proper notice. Alawieh's legal team accuses Customs and Border Protection of contempt. Similarly, in Washington DC, a federal judge has accused the White House of ignoring an order preventing the deportation of Venezuelans, with both cases expected to escalate to the Supreme Court.
Judge Sorokin emphasized the seriousness of the allegations of contempt after Dr. Rasha Alawieh was deported despite a court order requiring notice before such action.
The White House defended its actions regarding deportations by stating that the flights of Venezuelans had already left US airspace by the time the court order was issued.
