BOSTON, April 28 (Reuters) - A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Monday to turn over the names of any migrants flown recently from the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay to El Salvador so he could determine whether they were deported in violation of a court order he issued.
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy said at a hearing in Boston that the information was necessary to assess the administration's claims that flying four Venezuelans held at the U.S. naval base in Cuba to El Salvador did not flout Murphy's order from March because the flight was conducted by the Department of Defense.
