The Trump administration, as expected, filed a brief with the United States Supreme Court on Friday, asking the justices to allow resumption of deportation flights of illegal aliens who are members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua via flights to El Salvador through use of the Alien Enemies Act.
This could happen only if SCOTUS agrees to vacate Federal District Court Judge James Boasberg’s order from Saturday, Mar. 16, as my colleague Bob Hogue wrote in the wee hours of that Sunday morning:
It didn’t take long for Obama appointed Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to kneecap the effort. Not only did he issue a temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of any Venezuelans, but he also ordered that the plane (or planes; it’s unclear) return the gangsters to the U.S.
The actions against the president began even before he signed the order.
