The Trump administration took their open flouting of an order to halt recent deportations a step further on Monday, with the Department of Justice arguing that the federal judge's ruling from the bench was "not enforceable."
U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled over the weekend that the Trump administration should halt deportations of Venezuelan nationals immediately, taking particular care to tell attorneys that flights that were underway should be redirected and returned to the United States. Boasberg's written order, released later, did not include the demand that deportees in transit be returned.
