“Oopsie Too late,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, a Trump ally who agreed to house about 300 immigrants 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. The post Trump administration deports hundreds of immigrants even as a judge orders their removals be stopped appeared first on Boston.com.
Despite a judge's order temporarily blocking deportations under an 18th-century wartime declaration targeting Venezuelan gang members, the Trump administration deported hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador and Honduras. Salvadoran President Bukele supported the deportations. The Justice Department appealed the judge's decision but said it would halt further deportations under the Trump proclamation if the decision wasn't overturned. Critics argue the administration violated the "spirit" of the court order. Venezuela condemned the use of the wartime declaration. The Trump administration has not identified the immigrants deported, provided any evidence they are members of the gang or that they committed any crimes in the United States.
