A federal judge on Monday is scheduled to question the lawyers of the Department of Justice about whether the Trump administration disobeyed its order demanding the return of the alleged gang members to the United States if they were still in the air as part of an deportation effort.
The main judge James Boasberg on Monday rejected a request from the Department of Justice that the Hearing in the United States District Court in Washington, DC, was canceled.
Boasberg has told the Department of Justice that he is prepared to respond if the custody of any individual subject to an expulsion proclamation was delivered to a foreign country after the judge issued an order on Saturday demanding his return.
The judge also wants to know if “any flight with individuals subject to the proclamation took off after the written or oral orders of the court were issued; if any flight with individuals subject to the proclamation landed after the written or oral orders of the court were issued; if any flight was issued with individuals subject to the proclamation even in the air after the written or oral orders of the Court were issued.”
The Trump administration said Sunday that he had deported hundreds of alleged members of a Venezuelan gang to El Salvador under the alien enemies law in war.
The Department of Justice in a judicial presentation said on Sunday “some gang members subject to removal under proclamation had already been withdrawn from the territory of the United States” before Boasberg issued their order.
The White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, in a statement on Sunday said: “The written order and administration’s actions do not conflict.
“In addition, as the Supreme Court has repeatedly made clear: federal courts generally have no jurisdiction on the conduct of foreign affairs president, their authorities under the law of alien enemies and its main powers of article II to eliminate foreign terrorists from the American soil and repel an invasion declared,” Leavitt said.
