The Trump Administration pulled off an incredibly creative move to humiliate an activist judge trying to stop them from deporting dangerous illegal aliens.
As Axios reported, Team Trump revealed on Wednesday how they managed to avoid violating a federal judge’s restraining order barring them from deporting certain illegals.
U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy, a Biden appointee, ordered the Trump administration to ensure that people with final removal orders have a chance to argue that deportation to a country other than their own could jeopardize their safety.
The Trump administration, though, exploited a loophole in the ruling and deported several illegal aliens anyway. It turns out Murphy’s order only applied to the Department of Homeland Security, not any other federal agencies.
So, Team Trump decided to use the Department of Defense (DOD) to ship out illegal aliens, thus outwitting Murphy. In a Wednesday court filing, an attorney representing DHS pointed out that because the DOD is not a defendant in the case, the deportations it has carried out so far comply with the Biden judge’s order.
As Axios notes, the filing cites two cases where individuals were deported to Mexico before Murphy issued his order.
It also includes a sworn declaration from a DHS official, who stated that every person deported after Murphy’s court order was sent to Guantanamo Bay before being shipped off to El Salvador on military flights.
LOOK:
Axios goes on to note that Judge Murphy’s order was initially a setback for the administration, which has sought to send some deported criminal illegal immigrants to countries they are not originally from, like El Salvador. The Trump Administration is using the Alien Enemies Act to fast-track these deportations.
As TGP readers know, El Salvador has become the top flashpoint in the immigration fight. The most notorious example of this is the case of MS-13 gangster and alleged wife-beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Abrego Garcia has become a folk hero for Democrats despite his sordid past with several members of Congress rushing down to El Salvador to greet him and push for his release.
