The Trump administration deported 261 Venezuelans to El Salvador, alleging ties to the Tren de Aragua gang, despite a federal judge's order temporarily halting such actions. The administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, claiming national security concerns. Judge James Boasberg questioned the legality of proceeding with deportations after his directive and demanded detailed flight information by Tuesday. The administration argued that once flights departed U.S. airspace, they were beyond the court's jurisdiction. This incident has sparked a constitutional debate over executive authority and judicial oversight, with critics labeling the deportations as arbitrary and lacking due process.
