Tom Homan, President Trump's border czar, reaffirmed the administration's decision to ignore a federal judge's order that halted the deportation of Venezuelan gang members. This controversial move could ignite a significant legal battle defining the scope of presidential authority in immigration. Homan asserted that deportation flights could proceed as planned since they were airborne during the order. White House officials dismissed the judge's ruling as baseless, emphasizing their commitment to ongoing deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. This marks a historic and aggressive effort by the administration to shape immigration policy, potentially leading to Supreme Court involvement.
Homan's remarks underscore a significant administration stance: 'We are not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. We're coming.' This marks a clear defiance of judicial authority.
Press Secretary Leavitt claimed the judge's order had 'no lawful basis,' emphasizing the administration's determination to continue deportation efforts regardless of legal challenges.
The decision to proceed with deportations despite a court order raises profound legal questions about the limits of presidential power over immigration.
Homan's statement regarding future flights, 'Another flight every day,' indicates a robust and aggressive approach to the administration's deportation strategy.
