U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the government will “absolutely” continue deportation flights of Venezuelan illegal immigrants after a federal judge recently ordered officials to pause their efforts.
After President Donald Trump signed a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 and expanded deportation efforts, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered a two-week delay on the deportation of five plaintiffs and later expanded the order to anyone impacted by the proclamation. Government officials have said that hundreds of members of the Tren de Aragua gang were deported, while Bondi and other Justice Department officials submitted an emergency petition in a bid to reverse the judge’s order on Sunday morning.
