WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration must give more than 100 migrants sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador a chance to challenge their deportations.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg said that people who were sent to the prison in March under an 18th-century wartime law haven’t been able to formally contest the removals or allegations that they are members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He ordered the administration to work toward giving them a way to file those challenges.
The judge wrote that “significant evidence” has surfaced indicating that many of the migrants imprisoned in El Salvador are not connected to the gang “and thus languish in a foreign prison on flimsy, even frivolous, accusations.”
Boasberg gave the administration one week to come up with a manner in which the “at least 137" people can make those claims, even while they’re formally in the custody of El Salvador. It’s the latest milestone in the monthslong legal saga over the fate of deportees imprisoned at El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center.
Boasberg said the administration “plainly deprived” the immigrants of a chance to challenge their removals before they were put on flights. Therefore, he says the government must handle the migrants cases now as if they “would have been if the Government had not provided constitutionally inadequate process.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Take it up with El Salvador
He can go bitch to El Salvador they are not coming back
There shall be no barnacles.
Tell the judge to kiss your collective asses.
Dare Roberts to do something.
L
So, basically treat them 100x better than our own J6ers.
Ok he wants Trump to “figure out a way” for foreign gangsters in an El Salvador prison to do something in a federal court in America.
What the hell is he even talking about.
I know he’s a leftist, but I wonder if Boasberg is also controlled by the cartels.
Exactly. When did the courts get the power to tell the president to think something up?
This moron has no idea what he wants to order, because it’s impossible.
The administration should come back at the deadline, shrug their shoulders, and say “we hot no idea”.
Quite so.
How about Judge Boasberg jump off a tall cliff and issue a ruling on the way down that the laws of gravity do not apply.
Hasn’t AG BLondi signed the arrest warrant for Traitorboasberg yet?!?
when you enter this country illegally you get shipped out accordingly... that’s due process...
Send them a form to fill out. If any forms are actually returned, stamp each one DENIED in big red letters. Due process accomplished, and more than they deserve.
Lock up the judges.
He’s just like a terrier with a bone. The DOJ should politely tell him to go to hell.
Better yet, send the judge down there with the forms.
This guy has pushed himself to a point beyond absurd. The longer he’s able to continue this, the more people lose faith in any type of serious judicial system.
President Trump is immune from federal contempt power, and he can autopen as many pardons as needed.
It’s past time to call democrats on this current attempted usurpation of power.
>We’ll impeach! democrats
Yeah. Been there, done that.
This is Trump’s to win. They forced this constitutional crisis.
Isn’t that the judge who SCOTUS determined has no jurisdiction?
