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.

Interesting highlights:

  • “Oopsie…Too late,” Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, a Trump ally who agreed to house about 300 migrants for a year at a cost of $6 million in his country’s prisons, wrote on the social media site X above an article about Boasberg’s ruling. That post was recirculated by White House communications director Steven Cheung.
  • “Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense,” Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America, a human rights group, warned on X.

    The Supreme Court had already crowned him as king when he was ruled untouchable, so he has no reason to comply with any judge ruling on any case.

    Now, if he wants to sue someone, that’s a completely different matter.

    The US is a shitshow.

      Such a backwards system.

    Using our tax dollars to house people in a Salvadoran prison. Yikes. What are the chances we can stop payment on that one?
