Trump Administration Defies Court Order to Continue Deportations to El Salvador

Despite a federal judge's directive to halt deportations, flights carrying alleged gang members to El Salvador persist, with proposals to include US citizens sparking legal and ethical concerns.

Overview

  • The Trump administration has continued deportation flights to El Salvador's Cecot detention center, defying a federal court order issued in March 2025.
  • A judge has raised concerns about potential legal violations, paving the way for possible contempt proceedings against government officials involved in the deportations.
  • President Trump has proposed expanding deportations to include US citizens, a move that constitutional experts warn could violate the US Constitution.
  • The US pays El Salvador $20,000 per deportee, with reports suggesting that large-scale deportations could significantly bolster El Salvador's economy and reduce its national debt.
  • Human rights groups have condemned conditions at the Cecot detention center, citing inhumane treatment, wrongful incarcerations, and lack of due process for detainees.
