The White House said in a statement that it wasn’t defying the court but at the same time argued that it was perfectly within its rights to ignore the judge’s ruling.
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., had earlier blocked President Donald Trump’s application of the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th century law best known for its use in rounding up U.S. residents of Japanese descent and placing them in internment camps without trial during World War II.
In a Saturday evening hearing, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg blocked the use of the law for 14 days, saying the statute refers to “hostile acts” perpetrated by another country that are “commensurate to war.”
Reuters could not immediately determine when the plane or planes carrying the deported Venezuelans landed in El Salvador, but footage published by the Salvadoran government showed men being hustled off a plane in the dark of night amid a massive security presence.
Bukele followed the comment by a laughing-so-hard-I’m-crying emoji. His statement was reposted by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who later thanked Bukele for his “assistance and friendship.”
The American Civil Liberties Union, which challenged Trump’s use of the act, has asked the administration to ensure that it has not removed any migrants in violation of the order, lead ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt told Reuters.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the State Department and the Salvadoran government did not respond to requests for comment.
The 238 men - alleged members of the Venezuelan gang - were being transferred to the Terrorism Confinement Center - a mega-prison that can hold up to 40,000 inmates - for a one-year period that could be renewed, Bukele said.
