Judge Issues Ruling On Trump Flights

Well, it looks like President Trump is doing what actual leaders do—protecting Americans by deporting violent criminals. And naturally, the left is having a meltdown. Over the weekend, the Trump administration successfully sent more than 250 accused migrant gang members to El Salvador, including 238 members of the Tren de Aragua prison gang and at least 21 MS-13 members.

These are the kinds of people that Biden’s open-border policies let waltz right into the country, and now, under Trump, they’re finally getting what they deserve—a one-way ticket to a notorious Salvadoran mega-prison.

And just when you thought things were finally running like they should, enter U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, a Biden-era activist in a robe, who rushed to block the deportation flights at the last minute. It’s amazing, isn’t it? The same type of judge who would throw the book at January 6 protesters somehow manages to find his inner compassion when it comes to actual criminals.

Fortunately, Trump’s team was two steps ahead. By the time Boasberg’s ruling came down, two flights were already in the air, and the administration correctly determined that once those planes had left U.S. airspace, Boasberg’s nonsense no longer applied. Too bad, so sad.

When those gang members landed, El Salvador wasn’t exactly rolling out the welcome mat. They were met on the tarmac by dozens of armed commandos and immediately transferred to CECOT, the infamous mega-prison that is not known for its luxury accommodations. Inmates there are crammed into cells for nearly 24 hours a day, food is rationed to beans and pasta, and if they want water, they fight for it. Sounds like just the kind of place for Tren de Aragua and MS-13 thugs, doesn’t it? Funny how the left only seems to care about “human rights” when it involves criminals and not the Americans they terrorize.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, summed it up perfectly: Under President Trump’s leadership, this country is becoming safer every day. And he’s right. Since Trump took office, ICE has made over 32,000 arrests, with 70% of those individuals either facing charges or already convicted of crimes. And yet, rather than celebrate the fact that dangerous criminals are being removed from the country, Democrats and their activist judges are working overtime to protect them.

Meanwhile, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele isn’t just taking these criminals—he’s using them. He’s made it clear that the intelligence gathered from these deportees will help wipe out the last remnants of MS-13, dismantle their funding networks, and take down their collaborators. Imagine that—a leader who actually wants to clean up his country instead of exporting criminals to the U.S. Maybe someone should send that memo to the Democrats.

Rubio, for his part, thanked Bukele for his “assistance and friendship,” and while we don’t yet know the exact cost of this deal, one thing is clear: it’s a bargain compared to the cost of letting these gangs continue to roam freely in American cities.

And yet, despite all of this, Boasberg decided to slap a 14-day restraining order on the use of the Alien Enemies Act, the very tool Trump is using to get criminals out of this country. His reasoning? The act was last used during World War II, and apparently, that makes it too old for modern use. What a joke. Maybe next time, the left will argue that the Constitution is too outdated to follow. Oh wait—they already do.

Trump is doing exactly what he was elected to do—put America first. And if that means sending violent criminals to a prison where they actually face consequences? So be it. Maybe next time, Democrats can explain why they’re so determined to keep these people here instead.
