Judges to hear arguments about Trump’s administrative decisions not to reverse deportation flights

A federal judge has scheduled the trial at 17:00 Monday to answer the question whether Trump’s government consciously violated the court orders when he handed over more than 200 gang members who were allegedly to the authority of El Salvador during the weekend.
President Donald Trump’s administration made a decision calculated on Saturday to ignore the direction of the judge to reverse two flights containing hundreds of alleged members of the Venezuela Gang, the source who was familiar with the problem told ABC News.
The verbal instruction of the US District Judge James Boasberg accompanied the temporary detention order that prevented Trump’s administration from deporting non -citizens of the state currently being detained, which was issued by the judge less than two hours after Trump tried to ask for the 18th century law to deport the Venezuelan DE Aragua gang members.
Boasberg, in his order, explicitly told the government to turn planes that had left the country if they were still airing. However, the source said that the Top Lawyer and officials in the government made a decision that because the flight was above international waters, Boasberg’s orders did not apply, and the aircraft did not turn around.
In submitting a court on Sunday night, lawyers with ACLU and Forward Forward Foundation argued that the Trump government might have committed a “bright violation” from the direction of the court by acting as if the order only applies to flights in US airspace and individuals in American land.
“This court orally and clearly directs the government to reverse the aircraft carrying people issued in accordance with the AEA proclamation,” the archiving said.
The lawyer with the Department of Justice insisted in the court which submitted a Sunday that they removed the “gang member” based on the proclamation of the alien Trump enemy’s actions before the court issued his order.

However, lawyers who represent several migrants argue that statements are not only contrary to the time line of events but are also misinterpreted when the United States lost non -state -citizen jurisdiction.
“Whether the aircraft has cleaned the US region or not, the US maintains prisoners at least until the plane landed and the people were handed over to foreign governments,” said the plaintiff. “And the court is not more clear that it is related to the loss of jurisdiction and authority to order people who return if they are handed over to foreign governments, not with whether the aircraft has cleaned the US territory or even landed in other countries.”
The plaintiff’s lawyer said that based on the information available to the public, it seems that two flights carrying migrants under the law of alien enemies landed after the verbal order and the court written. They added that “Public comments made by the defendant and President El Salvador” boasting about a “late” court to stop deportation to strengthen concerns that Trump’s government might have violated the order.
“The defendant can turn the plane without handing over people who are subject to the proclamation and the court [Temporary Restraining Order]”Lawyers argue.
Finding deportation will cause damage that cannot be repaired, the temporary detention order of Boasberg on Saturday prohibits Trump’s government from deporting “all non-citizen countries subject to the AEA proclamation” for at least 14 days.
“You will tell your clients about this every aircraft containing these people who will take off or in the air need to be returned to the United States,” Boasberg said during Saturday trials. “But it’s finished, turning the plane, or not starting anyone on the plane. … This is something you need to make sure it is fulfilled immediately.”
The plaintiff’s lawyer has asked Judge Boasberg to order Trump’s government to submit an oath statement to determine whether the government consciously violated his court orders.
