A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration could not utilize an obscure wartime law to deport migrants without proper hearings. Despite the ruling, more than 200 migrants were sent to El Salvador on three planes, and some flights departed after the judge's order was posted. The Justice Department lawyer contended that the ruling was not yet official until written, and thus the administration did not violate the law. This situation raises concerns regarding adherence to judicial orders and the treatment of migrants.
The Trump administration's attempt to deport migrants under an obscure wartime law was halted by a federal judge's ruling which mandated hearings for those affected.
A Justice Department lawyer claimed the administration did not defy the judge's order because it wasn't codified in written form until it was released online.
