The Trump administration’s standoff with the judiciary continues as some of the president's top allies and advisers are ramping up their criticism of federal judges. The Justice Department again refused to provide a federal judge detailed information about deportation flights carrying hundreds of Venezuelan migrants.
Laura Barron-Lopez:
So the Justice Department again refused to provide answers. Those are answers about, what times did the flights take off? What time did they land in a foreign country? What time were the migrants transferred out of U.S. custody?
They did not provide answers to Justice — to Judge James Boasberg. And he called the Justice Department submission — quote — "woefully insufficient." He said — quote — "The government again evaded its obligations."
And an ICE official in that sworn declaration said that currently Cabinet secretaries are considering whether or not to invoke the state secrets privilege, meaning that they wouldn't have to necessarily provide this information. And that's typically only invoked, Amna, for classified information.
Ultimately, Judge Boasberg was not satisfied. And this comes as, simultaneously, he is considering whether or not the president legally invoked the Alien Enemies Act. And so tomorrow there is going to be a hearing on the merits of that case and the president's invocation of Alien Enemies.
Amna Nawaz:
Meanwhile, we know the administration is already deported with some 200 migrants to El Salvador. They claim that they were all members of a violent gang, Tren de Aragua.
Family members and lawyers have since been coming out and saying these men are not all gang members, they were wrongfully arrested and deported. What are we learning?
