A U.S. federal judge has warned he may hold the Trump administration in contempt of court for defying an order to halt deportation flights to El Salvador. Judge James Boasberg said the government showed “willful disregard” of his ruling, calling their responses unsatisfactory. The deportations were carried out under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, which the Supreme Court later upheld—but Boasberg emphasized that this did not excuse the initial violation. The administration has until April 23 to comply or explain its actions. Failure to do so may result in prosecutions of individuals who ignored the court’s order. (PC: BBC)
