The Trump administration, including Marco Rubio at State, explicitly ignored and violated a court order to stop illegal deportations. Is the media going to report it that way?

@petergleick The Guardian does: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/16/deportation-alleged-gang-members-el-salvador

The US district judge James Boasberg had attempted to halt the deportations for all individuals deemed eligible for removal under Trump’s proclamation, which was issued on Friday. Boasberg also ordered deportation flights already in the air to return to the US.

“Oopsie … Too late,” Bukele posted online, followed by a laughing emoji.

Trump invoked 1798 law previously used to detain Japanese Americans in second world war to justify deportations

Glad to hear you’re giving them hell!!

I’ve been stunned that to a person the Republicans in Congress back trump on his ludicrous nominees, his bullheadedness on tariffs, his deportation of innocents, his war on inequality — his general dismantling our country. Not a peep outta those fuckers!

Do they think they’ll be safe if they go along? NO-ONE is safe under an autocrat.

Trump Sends Hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador in Face of Judge’s Order

The Trump administration has sent hundreds of Venezuelans accused of being gang members to a prison in El Salvador, pushing the limits of U.S. immigration law by carrying out the deportations seemingly after a federal judge ordered that the flights not proceed. While the precise timing of the …

Trump administration deports hundreds of immigrants, despite court order

The Trump administration has transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge issued an order temporarily barring the deportations under an 18th century wartime declaration targeting Venezuelan gang members. Flights were in the air at the time of the ruling. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order Saturday evening blocking the deportations but lawyers told him there were already two planes with immigrants in the air — one headed for El Salvador, the other for Honduras. Boasberg verbally ordered the planes be turned around, but they apparently were not and he did not include the directive in his written order.
