A federal judge on Wednesday ruled a group of Venezuelans deported to a Salvadoran S. District Judge James Boasberg did not outline specific steps the administration must take, providing one week to propose how it intends to comply.
Boasberg said he realized the ruling “may implicate sensitive diplomatic or national-security concerns” but said the administration “also has a constitutional duty to provide a remedy that will ‘make good the wrong done.’”
It’s a complex scenario for the administration to carry out.
The Trump administration has argued they have no ability to secure the return of anyone held at CECOT, a notorious Salvadoran prison known by its acronym in Spanish.
