The Trump administration faced backlash for deportation flights that flew alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador despite a federal judge's emergency order. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg demanded details on these deportations, challenging the Justice Department's move to use wartime powers. DOJ lawyers contended that the flights were compliant, as they departed before the written order, which they argued was not enforceable. President Trump's social media comments criticized the judge, stirring tensions with the judiciary and prompting a defense from Chief Justice John Roberts.
The Trump administration's Justice Department defended its deportation flights, arguing that they complied with a federal judge's order by ensuring flights had left prior to it.
President Trump criticized the overseeing judge in a Truth Social post, labeling him a 'Radical Left Lunatic' and suggesting he should be impeached, highlighting tensions with the judiciary.
