A federal judge has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt over deportation flights to El Salvador, stating the government’s actions showed a willful disregard for a court order. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered any planes in the air to be turned around during an emergency hearing after an executive order was signed to deport alleged members of a Venezuelan gang, despite lawyers saying their clients were not part of the gang. The judge gave the government until April 23, 2025, to explain the steps taken to rectify the situation. The White House did not comment on the ruling.
