A federal judge has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for defying a court order to halt deportation flights to El Salvador.
The administration continued deportations despite a judicial ruling that invoked the rarely used Alien Enemies Act, a centuries-old law typically reserved for wartime. The judge cited 'willful disregard' of the court's directive, as planes carrying over 200 deportees departed after the order was issued. The legal clash highlights tensions between the judiciary and executive branches over immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, Senator Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador to investigate the situation and attempt to visit one of the deportees.
