The Trump administration won’t be able to restart its rushed deportation flights of Venezuelans deemed “alien enemies” for at least another two weeks, D.C.’s chief federal judge ruled on Friday.
In his order, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said the White House’s plan to immediately resume its forced transportation of people without a trial “only underscores the need” for him to continue stepping in.
“Indeed,” he wrote, government agencies “have thus far not committed to granting putative class members any opportunity to challenge their classification before summary removal.”
