Trump administration says it sent 4 alleged migrant gang members to El Salvador despite court order​

The Trump administration is acknowledging it deported four noncitizens to El Salvador despite a court order barring the removal of people to countries other than their place of origin without an opportunity to raise concerns about their safety.

In a series of court filings overnight, Justice Department lawyers argued that the court order was not violated because the removal of four alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua was carried out by the Department of Defense -- not the Department of Homeland Security, which is a defendant in the lawsuit.

None of the men had orders of removal to El Salvador before they were deported to that country [from Gitmo] on March 31, according to the filings.
