Trump administration deports hundreds of migrants, despite judge's order stopping removal
The Trump administration has transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge issued an order temporarily barring the deportations under an 18th century wartime declaration targeting Venezuelan gang members.
Interesting highlights:
- “Oopsie…Too late,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, a Trump ally who agreed to house about 300 migrants for a year at a cost of $6 million in his country’s prisons, wrote on the social media site X above an article about Boasberg’s ruling. That post was recirculated by White House communications director Steven Cheung.
- “Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense,” Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America, a human rights group, warned on X.

What are the consequences if Trump just ignores the judge?
Realistically, nothing. Another “constitutional crisis.” Only the people can stop him now.
Jeffries, Pelosi, Schumer send “thoughts and prayers”
Hey, they might hold a small sign or wear a special color for an afternoon. Sure to bring the new Nazis down, just like it did for Hitler.
The only thing you will see are the judges electing to arrest the ones carring out the orders. It has to come from the states I would think. He would just pardon whoever if it's a federal arrest.
