Yesterday, we told you how a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to turn around a plane full of Venezuelan gang members, saying Trump's invoking of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
Congress should respond by passing a declaration of war on the gangs, which is a prerequisite for the Alien Enemies Act. But in the meantime, the Trump administration has taken a leaf from Andrew Jackson's playbook: 'Judge Boasberg has made his decision, now let him enforce it.'
The flights landed in El Salvador this morning, where they will be imprisoned following an agreement with President Nayib Bukele.
Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).

President Bukele threw some shade at Judge Boasberg.
Oopsie…

Too late 😂 pic.twitter.com/nDHL6deLJq
It'll be interesting to see what unfolds today after the Judge sees this story.
It’s embarrassing when foreign leaders show more common sense about U.S. security than our own judges.

Bukele doesn't hate the U.S.
That's the difference.
Lmao, Nayib trolling corrupt judges just made my day.

It really is a *chef's kiss*, isn't it?
If this judge wants these criminals so bad he should try to bail them out and keep them at his house.

Somehow, the people who are most ardently pro-illegal immigration aren't opening their doors.
Funny, that.
How can the Judicial Branch Block the Executive Branch on War Powers?

The best response I believe, is for Trump to ignore them and proceed as if they were insignificant, which they are.
After all, what are these liberal judges going to do? Stamp their little feet?
The Alien Enemies Act requires a declaration of war. Something Congress should declare.
Will that stop judges from ruling against the Trump administration? Maybe. Maybe not. But it'll help.
The President of El Salvador sent this tweet to the US federal judge. X is excellent with popcorn; this is hilarious. 😂 https://t.co/aFB72rWbwT

The Trump administration should keep tight-lipped and let Bukele do the trolling.
LAWFARE: Wait, wut? El Salvador’s president implies the judge’s order arrived too late to stop the deportation of the TdA terrorist. Nice… https://t.co/9GAW7STKi9 pic.twitter.com/ti8cHMYMIV

The order didn't arrive too late. It was ignored.

Yes he is.
Amazing. Bukele isn't giving the criminals back. The judge is powerless https://t.co/L61lxvKgrS

Utterly powerless.
