The Trump administration is refusing to back down after far-left DC District Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, blocked the deportation of dangerous Venezuelan gang members, handing a lifeline to criminals instead of protecting American citizens.
Boasberg ordered an immediate halt on deportation flights of Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang members, who were being removed under the Alien Enemies Act (1798)—a wartime law explicitly designed to protect Americans from foreign threats.
Even more outrageous, the judge went so far as to demand that planes already in the air turn around and bring these violent criminals back into the United States.
According to ABC News, “[Boasberg] also ordered the Trump administration to immediately turn around two planes carrying noncitizens if they are covered by his order, including one [en route to El Salvador] that potentially took off during a break in the court’s hearing.”
