Judge Finds Trump Administration Willfully Defied Court Orders in Deportation Case

A federal judge found the Trump administration willfully disregarded a court order when it failed to return planes full of migrants on their way to a prison in El Salvador and has ordered the government to act quickly to avoid possible prosecution for criminal contempt. 

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington said in a Wednesday order there was probable cause to find Trump administration officials in contempt of court. He ordered the government by next week to either show him an attempt to remedy the violation or provide information from administration officials—under oath—about the decision.
