The Trump administration is facing legal and political backlash after continuing deportation flights of Venezuelans and others despite multiple court orders halting them.
A federal judge had ruled against the deportations, but the administration has pressed forward, with officials vowing to continue removals at an accelerated pace. The controversy has sparked a constitutional crisis, with legal experts warning of a direct challenge to the judiciary’s authority. Meanwhile, Trump has also criticized Biden’s pardons of Jan. 6 committee members, further escalating tensions.
The situation is expected to lead to a major legal showdown in the coming days.
