By classifying roughly a dozen of these brutal cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, the Trump administration was able to bypass lengthy immigration hearings and get straight to the point: deport them.
Two chartered flights took off, carrying over 250 gang-affiliated illegal aliens back to their home countries—Honduras and El Salvador. It was a bold demonstration of strength and resolve.
Obama-Appointed Judge Tries to Block Trump—From the Bench
Just when it looked like the operation was going off without a hitch, Obama-appointed D.C. District Judge James Boasberg stepped in with a controversial ruling. From his courtroom, Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order on the flights midair—yes, midair—and demanded the deportation be halted under the Alien Enemies Act.
In a stunning move, he ordered the planes to turn around and return to the United States—with the terrorists still on board.
But the Trump administration didn’t blink.
They ignored the order, arguing that a U.S. federal judge’s jurisdiction doesn’t extend into foreign airspace. The flights continued as scheduled, marking a sharp rebuke of Boasberg’s interference.
Pam Bondi: “We Will Continue to Follow the Alien Enemies Act”
Pam Bondi joined Judge Jeanine Pirro to address the situation and set the record straight.
“Well, that’s it. He’s attempting to meddle in national security and foreign affairs, and he can’t do it,” Bondi said. “What he’s done is an intrusion on the President’s authority. You know, this one federal judge, again, thinks he can control foreign policy for the entire country, and he cannot. Right now we’re evaluating our options.”
Pirro followed up by asking if Trump’s team planned to keep deporting violent illegal aliens despite the judge’s ruling.
“Absolutely,” Bondi replied. “These are foreign terrorists that the president has identified and designated them as such, and we will continue to follow the Alien Enemies Act.”
White House: The Left Is Using the Courts to Derail Trump’s Agenda
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t mince words when she took to the podium to call out what she sees as judicial sabotage by Democrat-aligned judges.
“I would like to point out that the judges in this country are acting erroneously,” Leavitt said. “We have judges who are acting as partisan activists from the bench.”
She further warned that the legal system is being exploited as a weapon to block Trump from exercising his lawful presidential authority.

“It’s incredibly apparent that there is a concerted effort by the far Left to judge shop, to pick judges who are clearly acting as partisan activists from the bench in an attempt to derail this President’s agenda,” Leavitt said. “We will not allow that to happen.”
The War on Lawfare Has Just Begun
President Trump has faced lawfare before—but this latest wave of restraining orders is unprecedented. In just one month, Trump’s administration has faced more judicial interference than President Biden did in his first three years combined.
What Democrats once viewed as a clever end-run around Trump’s agenda may now be blowing up in their faces. Bondi’s promise to keep pushing forward—and Leavitt’s call for the Supreme Court to intervene—suggest a broader legal showdown is brewing.
And if Bondi’s words are any indication, this administration isn’t backing down anytime soon.
