US judge wants to explain why Trump Administration Venezuelans deported in the middle of the court decision

On Monday, a US federal judge urged the Trump administration to give details of hundreds of Venezuelans, which they had deported despite a court decision that prevented this from the government and gave the government until Tuesday to explain why the officials believed that they had fulfilled his order.

US President Donald Trump’s government more than 200 Venezuelans deported It claims to be members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang associated with kidnapping, extortion and contract murders, to El Salvador at the weekend, even as a judge James Boasberg, temporarily blocked a war law to carry out the stories.

Boasberg had previously instructed the government to provide details about the time of flights that the Venezolans transported to El Salvador, including the question of whether they were decreased after the arrangement.

He thought the government’s lawyer for the government’s reaction during a hearing on Monday.

“Why do you appear without answers today?” Asked Boasberg.

The hearing followed an application by the government to remove the judge from the case. The Trump government has questioned the historical controls between the US government branches.

Since taking office in January, Trump has tried to exceed the limits of the executive power, to reduce the expenses approved by the congress, to reduce agencies and to dismiss thousands of federal workers.

Emergency session at the weekend

The meeting on Monday was prompted by an emergency negotiation on Saturday, in which the Union of the American Civil Liberties Boasberg asked to spend a two -week temporary block for Trump Use of the Alien Enemies Act from 1798 to carry out the deportations.

The White House claimed on Sunday that federal courts have no responsibility for Trump’s authority to drive foreign enemies from the 18th century from the 18th century, which was only used historically in times of war, even though it was also followed by the command.

In a court hearing shortly before the hearing on Monday, the Trump government said on Saturday, a spoken guideline of the judge to return aircraft with the migrants, was “not enforceable” because it was not in a written order.

The administration said that they did not violate Boasberg’s subsequent written arrangement, which the immigration authorities excluded by removing migrants, since the aircraft had already left their output.

But the judge said in court that he still wanted to know when to go where they went when they went when they left us and when they landed in a foreign country. He also asked when individuals were transferred to openness abroad.

“There is a lot of operational national security and foreign relationships,” said ABHISHEK Kambli, a lawyer of the Ministry of Justice and explained why the Trump government was resistant to the exchange of information.

Boasberg ordered the government on Tuesday to noon, details such as the time of flight departure and arrivals abroad, the number of people deported and why the government did not believe that it could make this information public.

Boasberg did not say whether the government had violated its orders from Saturday.

The judge seemed skeptical at the justification of the Trump government that he had not brought the planes back to the United States.

“Limits to absurd”

Some legal experts said that the aircraft’s location in the air was irrelevant.

Michael J. Gerhardt, professor of constitutional law at the School of Law at the University of North Carolina, said that the argument borders on the absurd and was “opposite the constitution” that federal officials are subject to the constitution, regardless of where they are.

“A government aircraft in the government business is not in a legislative zone,” said Gerhardt, adding: “If this is not the case, the government can simply do anything that seems to do as long as it no longer works on American soil.”

With the congress controlled by Republicans, which mainly supports his agenda, the federal judges were often the only restriction for his executive actions and put many on the waiting loop while looking at their legality. In some cases, advocacy groups have announced that the administration refused to comply with the judicial orders.

The Trump government has described the deported Venezuelans differently as gang members, “Monster” or “extraterrestrial terrorists”, but has not proven evidence of underpining their claims.

The press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, said a total of 261 people were deported, including 137, which were removed according to the Anien Enemies Act and more than 100 others that were removed from the default immigration process. There were also 23 Salvadoranian members of the MS-13 gang, said Leavitt.

The Trump government has also defended its actions in the deportation of a doctor from Rhode Island to Lebanon last week.

The US authorities said on Monday that they had Dr. Rasha Alawieh deported after discovering “likeable photos and videos” by the former Hisbollah long -time director and the militant in the deleted article of their cell phone.

Alawieh had also told the agents that she took part in the funeral in Lebanon last month Hassan Nasrallah killed by the Hisbollahs killedwhich she supported from a “religious perspective” as a Shiite Muslimin.

The judicial department provided these details when it tried to assure a federal judge in Boston that the US -Zoll and border protection did not deliberately do not obey a command that he had issued on Friday, which should have stopped Alawieh’s immediate distance.
