Tom Homan, President Donald Trump's border czar, vowed Sunday that the Trump administration would not defy court orders stemming from legal challenges over its invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act to deport undocumented migrants from the United States.

For the past week, a federal judge in Washington, James Boasberg, has tried to determine whether the Trump administration ignored an earlier order to temporarily halt deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act when it flew Venezuelan detainees to El Salvador even after the judge ordered their flights to be turned around.

According to Homan, all of those sent to El Salvador were known gang members, and -- he claimed -- most were members of Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has labeled a terrorist organization.

But family members of some of those flown to El Salvador insist they had no affiliation with any gang. And on Sunday, Homan refused to provide any specific information supporting the Trump administration's claims.

5. That sure was a quick turn around for Homan.

It makes one wonder why they had to get those flights out so quickly, who did they dissappear?
Everybody had there heads shaved and had their heads down so we couldn't see who was deported only that there were many.

6. Homan, don't give us bull shit. You did defy the judges order.

And don't give that, "that was then, this is now, crap. Your sitting there trying to figure out how to defy that court order.

8. Trust but verify...necessary in all Trump/Musk promises

9. Since they ended the CHNV program effective April 30, all they have to do is wait to deport them until then, right?

At that point the ruling no longer applies

10. He lies, and then he lies again, and then he lies again. They have no shame and do not intend to follow any law at all.

The rest is window dressing on a funeral for Democratic government.

11. Didn't they already do so?

12. Perhaps the Trump minions have figured out he doesn't care

whether they get held in contempt of court and go to jail or not. Trump only cares that he doesn't go to jail.
