Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem directed that hundreds of Venezuelan men who were removed from the U.S. in March be transferred to El Salvador, despite a federal judge ordering deportation planes turned around, according to a new court filing from Trump administration lawyers.
In the filing late Tuesday, the Department of Justice said that DOJ and DHS officials conveyed their legal advice to Noem after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg gave first an oral directive and then a written order that sought to block the deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador,” DOJ said on Tuesday.
Jail does not exist in USA! Justice system does not work too. Otherwise she would be in jail. USA101 justice.
Jail definitely exists here if you’re brown and/or poor tho. Like, its kind of very intentionally used to keep certain groups as off-their-feet as possible. In that way, it definitely works too. But as for what a justice system is supposed to do? You’re not wrong on that one. It’s completely fucked and only serves the wealthy.
