Judge to weigh whether administration violated deportation order

A federal judge will hold a hearing over the recent deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members. Last month, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg imposed a two-week ban on deportations of accused members of the Tren de Aragua gang. He issued the pause to consider a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s use of an 18th century law. Boasberg is now probing whether the administration violated that order by failing to return two deportation flights that were in the air at the time he issued the order.
