Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Trump administration would “absolutely” continue to remove Venezuelan immigrants on deportation flights despite a ruling from a federal judge ordering them to pause their efforts.
“These are foreign terrorists, that the president has identified them, and designated them as such, and we will continue to follow the Alien Enemies Act,” Bondi said Monday on Fox News’s “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Saturday temporarily blocked President Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies Act, which would grant him the authority to detain and deport individuals of countries deemed foreign adversaries with little due process.
Bondi ripped Boasberg for attempting “to meddle” in foreign affairs.
“He can’t do it,” she told guest host Jeanine Pirro, adding that “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,” the attorney general said.
The Trump administration said Sunday that it had removed nearly 300 members of the Tren de Aragua gang, which were designated as terrorists in the recent court order.
“All of the planes subject to the written order of this judge departed U.S. soil, U.S. territory before the judge’s written order,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.

The judge and his daughter will have aneurysms
Excellent post.
Thanks.
My opinion of Bondi just went way up.
Why is this relevant when:
“You know, this one federal judge again thinks he can control foreign policy for the entire country, and he cannot,” the attorney general said.
Seems to me like they should not tie their hands in the future by saying its was the judges timing that matters. Its his lack of authority on the issue that matters.
This is just a bluff to slow down DJTs momentum.
-
The Trump administration should just make a public statement that this is settled law and these federal judges have no standing and move on.....and from then on ignore them.
Uh oh. President Boasberg won’t be happy. Those nasty Trump people are trying to usurp his executive authority as the self-appointed President of the United States.
Seems to me like they should not tie their hands in the future by saying its was the judges timing that matters. Its his lack of authority on the issue that matters.
This.
bttt
I will be impressed as soon as the first one is flown out of the country now. As far as I know not one has been removed since that hack issued his written order. Until that happens Bondi is just performing for the cameras.
I think we will see them at some point.Deporting illegals is a bigger priority.
Until then, I don't believe her.
So will Supreme Court justice Roberts.
Beat me by 3 minutes.
Even though the judge gave an order, he was unable therewith to avail himself of a valid legal mechanism under the current circumstances.
The media, DS and Left would have us believe PDJT is in the wrong, but they're liars and compromised interpreters of the law, which somewhat strengthens the thought that SCOTUS might reach the correct decision on these District Courts' usurpation cases.
The fear is that compromise and deceit fill even the halls of SCOTUS. With his public confrontation of the President on this issue, however, CJ Roberts must recuse himself.
God works in mysterious ways!
The commies are so stupid..the majority of Americans want these illegal alien criminals DEPORTED, even most democrats, yet the far left commies are going on TV, giving their full support to gang bangers..if they had any brains they would drop this because they cant just say “Trump is right, they need to go” nope they cant do it, for them admitting Trump is right about ANYTHING, they will defend anything, defend anyone as long as Trump says it they will say the opposite
Exactly, see post 13.
