U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg attempted to block a Trump administration agreement with El Salvador aimed at deporting hundreds of immigrants tied to gang claims. This administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act, which has historical ties to internment practices, to expedite these deportations. Despite legal challenges, the deportation flights proceeded, showcasing the administration's defiance of judicial authority. Upon their arrival in El Salvador, deportees were filmed for propaganda purposes, exacerbating the distress for families searching for loved ones.
Upon arrival in El Salvador, those deported were used for a fascist propaganda video that highlighted the brutality of their treatment.
Boasberg's ruling came after the ACLU sued on behalf of five people facing imminent threat of deportation.
