The Trump government has broadcast hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador, even when a federal judge granted a connection that withdrawn the deportations as part of a declaration of war from the 18th century to the exception of members of the Venezolan gangs from the 18th century, said officials on Sunday. At the time of the judgment, there were flights in the air.
The US district judge James E. Boasberg gave a decision on Saturday that temporarily blocked the deportations, but the lawyers told him that there were already two aircraft with immigrants in the air – one drove to El Salvador, the other for Honduras. Boasberg verbally ordered that the aircraft would be turned over, but they were not apparently not and he did not include the directive in his written order.
In a statement on Sunday, the press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, replied to speculation about whether the administration was ordered in court: “The administration did not refuse to comply with a judicial order. The order that had no lawful basis was issued after terrorists TDA Aliens had already been removed by the US territory.”
The acronym refers to the Tren de Aragua gang, to which Trump aimed at his unusual proclamation, which was released on Saturday
In a court registration on Sunday, the Ministry of Justice, which has appealed against Boasberg’s decision, said the Trump proclamation, which he blocked for further deportation, did not use if his decision was not lifted.
Trump’s allies were happy about the results.
“Oopsie – too late,” said Salvadora President Nayib Bukele, who agreed to submit around 300 immigrants in his country’s prisons for one year for a year, about an article about Boasberg’s decision. This post was recirculated by the Weißen House Communication Director, Steven Cheung.
The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had negotiated an earlier contract with Bukele with immigrants, exhibited on site:
According to Trump’s explanation of the extraterrestrial enemy law, the immigrants were deported from 1798, which was only used three times in US history.
US President Donald Trump quickly pursues his promise to act against illegal immigration with raids and deportation. Trump is now pushing for a massive increase in expenditure for border security and immigration reform.
The law, which was called during the war of 1812 and the world wars I and II, demands from a president to explain the United States in the war, and gives him extraordinary powers to capture or remove foreigners who would otherwise have protection after immigration or criminal law. It was last used to justify the detention of Japanese-American civilians during the Second World War.
In a statement on Sunday, Venezuela’s government rejected the use of Trump’s declaration of law and characterized it as “the darkest episodes in the history of humanity, from slavery to the horror of the Nazis concentration camp”.
Tren de Aragua came from a famous lawless prison in the central state of Aragua and accompanied an exodus of millions of Venezuelans, with the vast majority searching for better living conditions after the economy had reversed their nation in the past decade. Trump confiscated the gang during his campaign to paint misleading pictures of communities, of which he claimed that they were “adopted” by a handful of law crusher.
The Trump government has not identified the deported immigrants, provided they are actually members of Tren de Aragua or that they have committed crimes in the United States. It also sent two top members of the Salvadoranian MS-13 gang to El Salvador, who had been arrested in the United States.
The deportees were brought to the notorious Cecot facility, the heart of Bukele’s push, his once violent country to satisfy with difficult police measures and limits of fundamental rights.
Flood of legal disputes
The Trump government said the President actually signed the proclamation that claims that Tren de Aragua had entered the United States on Friday evening, but only announced it on Saturday afternoon. Immigration lawyers said that on Friday they noticed the Venezuelans who could not otherwise be deported according to the Immigration Act in order to be moved to Texas to deportation flights. They began to submit complaints to stop the transfers.
The legal dispute, which led to the deportation statement, was submitted on behalf of five Venezuelans held in Texas, of which the lawyers stated that they would be wrongly accused of being members of the gang. As soon as the crime has been called, she warned that Trump could simply explain a Tren de Aragua member to someone and remove it from the country.
Boasberg banned the deportations of the Venezolans on Saturday morning, when the lawsuit was submitted, she only spent all people in federal custody who could be dependent on the afternoon after his hearing. He noticed that the law has never been used outside of a congress and that the plaintiffs could successfully argue that Trump exceeded its legal authority when asked.
The deportation of the deportations is up to 14 days and the immigrants remain in federal custody during this time. Boasberg planned a hearing on Friday to hear additional arguments in the case.
He said he had to act because the immigrants, whose deportations could actually violate the US constitution, deserve a chance to hear their requests in court.
“As soon as they are outside the country,” said Boasberg, “I could do little.”
