A US judge on Monday ordered #Trump administration officials to explain whether the administration violated his order when they deported hundreds of *alleged* Venezuelan gang members over the weekend & potentially set up a constitutional clash between the president & the federal #judiciary.

The White House asserted Sun that federal courts "have no jurisdiction" over #Trump's authority to expel foreign *enemies* under an 18th-century #law historically used only in wartime.
Judge James Boasberg in Washington set a hearing for 5PM ET (2000 GMT) on Mon & instructed the govt to provide details on whether the flights that transported the #Venezuelans to #ElSalvador took off after his order or were in the air at the time.

Non sequitur
What was the legal jurisdiction / flag those planes were flying under?
A cruise ship under N'th flag, is under N'th legal territory, regardless of where on the planet it is.
It's why they check your passport at San Diego when you board a Norwegian flagged ship to go spend 3 days in Oregon. You step out of California, into Norway, even when that boat is still tied to the docks.
Does ICAO need to have a chat, using crayons, with Bondi?
The planes were all labeled airline GlobalX flights (Global Crossing Airlines is an American charter airline). There were only three GlobalX arrivals to El Salvador’s international airport on March 15 & 16, according to the flight tracking site FlightRadar24.
First flight tail number: N278GX
Second flight tail number: N837VA
Third flight tail number: N630VA
Thank you for this.
@Nonilex @Anonomouse1981 i believe tail numbers starting with N are US jurisdiction.
American carriers are under US jurisdiction. Presumably, these were flights chartered by the USG, another source of jurisdiction. It was nearly five hours between the time the court docketed its order and the first flight arrived in El Salvador.
In fact, until the prisoners deplaned, they remained under US jurisdiction. The planes could have been ordered to refuel and return with all passengers onboard. Had Trump wanted them to, they would have.
@Nonilex @Anonomouse1981 This makes it clear that plane #3 (N630VA) should not have left Texas.
