A federal judge denied on Monday that the Trump administration demanded the cancellation of court hearings involving the president Donald Trump’s The use of wartime law to deport hundreds of Venezuelan nationals, and whether the White House intends to violate court orders – a little effort that took place before government officials took the oath to testify.
The Justice Department’s application was soon after U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ordered lawyers to order lawyers to make a lawsuit Monday regarding Trump’s use of the Foreign Enemies of the Wartime Era Act of 1798 and whether the Trump administration intends to violate his earlier court orders to prevent the Trump administration from immediately summoning the law to avoid resorting to the law.

The law was used only three times in U.S. history during World War II.
During a Monday hearing that lasted about 45 minutes, Judge Boasberg sometimes urged government lawyers to obtain more details about his Saturday order (called for the government to return immediately to all planes with deported immigrants).
“My order doesn’t seem to be too heavy,” Jude Boasberg said at the end of the hearing. Both sides should return to court on Friday to convene a request for the Trump administration to revoke the case.

During the hearing, the Trump administration repeatedly refused to provide information to Judge Bosberg for a flight carrying immigrants on Saturday, citing national security protections.
“These are operational issues, and I’m not free to provide information,” Trump administration lawyers told the court.
Judge Boasberg responded, ordering the Justice Department to provide more information to the court in writing by noon Tuesday.
Boasberg supported the plaintiffs – Democratic Progress and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who argued that deportation could cause imminent and “irreparable” harm to immigrants at the proposed time.
Judge Boasberg also ordered the Trump administration to immediately stop any planned deportation Saturday and notify its clients: “Any plane that includes taking off or in the air will need to return to the United States,” he said.
However, the decision was obviously too late to stop a plane with more than 200 immigrants that were deported to El Salvador.

She also suggested that the order itself was not “legal” and pointed to the Trump administration’s intent to appeal.
In response, the American Civil Liberties Union asked the court to order the government to submit a declaration under oath that the plane did take off after the court’s order.
“The United States retains custody regardless of whether the aircraft clears U.S. territory at least until the aircraft lands and hands over individuals to foreign governments,” the ACLU said in its filing.

The Obama-appointed Justice Boothberg seems a bit unbelievable at times, with the Trump administration choosing to continue to deport hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador, urging the Justice Department attorneys whether they think there is a better option than he thinks there is a better option than he complies with Saturday’s decision.
He asked: “That’s not a better route, bring the plane back to the United States and figure out what to do, instead of saying ‘We don’t care, will we do what we want to do?'”
