Trump Administration Faces Legal Battle Over Defiance of Deportation Halt

Judge Boasberg demands explanations after deportation flights proceed despite court order blocking removals under the Alien Enemies Act.

• President Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, citing national security concerns.
• U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued a restraining order halting deportations, but the administration deported over 260 migrants, claiming flights had already left U.S. airspace.
• The judge ordered the administration to provide detailed flight logs by Tuesday noon to determine compliance with his order.
• The administration has defended its actions, arguing the court order was issued after the flights began and lacks jurisdiction over national security matters.
• Critics warn of a constitutional crisis, as Trump and allies call for Judge Boasberg's impeachment, questioning judicial limits on executive power.
