Trump Steps Closer to Showdown With Judicial Branch

“The Trump administration moved one large step closer to a constitutional showdown with the judicial branch of government when airplane-loads of Venezuelan detainees deplaned in El Salvador even though a federal judge had ordered that the planes reverse course and return the detainees to the United States,” the New York Times reports.

“The right-wing president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, bragged that the 238 detainees who had been aboard the aircraft were transferred to a Salvadoran ‘Terrorism Confinement Center,’ where they would be held for at least a year.”
