US judge orders Trump lawyers to testify under oath about deportation flights
Fox News
During the hearing, the Trump administration repeatedly declined to provide information to Judge Boasberg about how many flights carrying migrants took off on Saturday, citing national security protections.
The law has only been used three times in U.S. history, most recently during World War II. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the Trump administration, with a focus on the Justice Department, FBI, and other national news.
During Monday's hearing, which lasted about 45 minutes, Judge Boasberg at times appeared frustrated as he pressed government lawyers for more details as to why his Saturday order—which called for the administration to immediately return all planes with expelled migrants, including the Venezuelan nationals and alleged Tren de Aragua gang members—were not brought back to the U.S.
"My orders don’t seem to carry much weight," Jude Boasberg said near the end of the hearing. Both parties are due back in court Friday for a hearing over the Trump administration's request to vacate the case.
