OUTSMARTED: President Trump ‘Legally’ DEFIES Rogue Judge, Deports Dangerous Illegals in Overnight Operation

April 1, 2025
by The Times Of America

The Trump Administration is touting an overnight success that the rogue federal judiciary is trying with all its might to stop.

More dangerous illegals were deported last night in a joint operation that included cooperation from the El Salvadorian military.

Those transferred to the custody of the Central American nation included six child rapists, and all 17 were considered extremely dangerous with links to MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gangs.

But Judge Boasberg, who has waged warfare against President Trump’s immigration policy from his high seat on the U.S. district court in Washington DC, had expressly forbade President Trump from targeting those types of illegals for deportation.

Boasberg has placed injunctions on President Trump’s use of an 18-century law known as the “Alien Enemies Act” to deport the illegal criminals allowed in under the Biden regime.

So, President Trump didn’t use that law; he simply juked, stiff armed, and did an end-around… and used a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LAW.

And DEPORTED the violent criminals… ANYWAY.

The Trump Administration in effect legally DEFIED the Judge’s orders — and now they are celebrating the win openly on social media!

They aren’t even pretending not to gloat over the fact they outsmarted Judge Boasberg; they are plastering the win all over the place – as they should!

Self-described ‘Philosopher King’, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, shared this glitzy video, touting the cooperation between U.S. and El Salvadorian authorities in combating what he called ‘organized crime’:

And President Trump quickly repost Bukele’s video to his own X account, with the following message to President Bukele:

Thank you President Bukele, of El Salvador, for taking the criminals that were so stupidly allowed, by the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, to enter our Country, and giving them such a wonderful place to live!

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also weighed in on what he described as a ‘successful counter-terrorism operation’ earlier this morning, breaking the news.

It almost seems as if the Trump Administration wants Judge Boasberg to know they are committed to adhering to what is good for American in accordance with their Constitutional authority even if those rogue judges aren’t!

Here’s the full text of Marco Rubio’s post:

Last night, in a successful counter-terrorism operation with our allies in El Salvador, the United States military transferred a group of 17 violent criminals from the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 organizations, including murderers and rapists.

In order to keep the American people safe, @POTUS designated the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens.

Once again, we extend our gratitude to @nayibbukele and the government of El Salvador for their unparalleled partnership in making our countries safe against transnational crime and terrorism.

So how is it that President Trump was able to DEFY Judge Boasberg’s injunction while maintaining both feet firmly planted within technical legality?

The White House used a different legal authority, their Title 8 immigration authority, to remove these illegals; effectively sidestepping the Boasberg’s attempted block.

And the operation went off with out a hitch, according to a Fox News report:

These removals were done via Title 8, not the Alien Enemies Act, and all the individuals had deportation orders or final orders of removal, according to the senior White House officials, meaning the Trump administration did not violate a federal judge’s order halting the deportations.

U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg extended a restraining order on Friday against the use of the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 wartime immigration law, by the Trump administration to deport violent gang members with alleged ties to gangs.

Trump has since slammed Boasberg, accusing him and other “radical left judges” of hampering his ability to serve as president.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News in a statement that the Trump administration will continue going after illegal alien criminals.

“Every day, America becomes safer, thanks to the leadership of President Trump,” Leavitt said. “If you’re an illegal terrorist or criminal – the Trump administration is coming for you.”

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem added her own voice to today’s social media blitz.

She posted this hard-hitting video via the official DHS X account a short time ago — again, touting the Trump Administration’s willingness to remove dangerous illegals IN SPITE of rogue judges:

Use of the Title 8 Immigration Authority, rather than reliance on the Alien Enemies Act, meant President Trump could legally move these illegals out of the country without further trial or court involvement.

Their deportations were based solely on the deportation orders they already had against them for crimes committed — besides the obvious crime of ILLEGALLY ENTERING the country.

There was at least one murderer and one kidnapper among the group, according to the New York Post:

The latest planeload of alleged gang members deported from the US to El Salvador’s “hellhole” prison includes child rapists, murderers, pimps and drug dealers, according to the White House.

Seventeen alleged Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang members deported from the US were flown in shackles to an El Salvadoran tarmac Sunday night, where they were met by a convoy of heavily-armed soldiers and whisked away to the notoriously brutal Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).

Of the seventeen, six carried charges of child molestation, and one was charged with rape, according to a White House officials.

Three of them had criminal records for homicide, and one for kidnapping.

The first batch of suspected gang members were shipped there from the US earlier in March and have been locked up ever since.

That group was sent south using the rarely-used Alien Enemies Act, which Trump invoked to ship deportees out of country without a trial.

But since usage of that act was blocked by a federal judge — and is currently the subject of a federal court fight — the 17 deportees sent to CECOT Sunday were removed using deportation orders that had previously been levied against them, according to the White House.

Sunday’s arrivals are the latest indication that the Trump administration isn’t going to let legal battles slow down its efforts to kick alleged gang members out of the country.

National correspondent Bill Melugin with Fox News initially broke the news of the identities of those deported in this group.

Here’s his list, as provided by the White House — (though I only count 16 names):

Here’s the full text of Melugin’s post, detailing the identities of those successfully transferred to El Salvadorian custody by the Trump Administration:

BREAKING: 17 illegal aliens with serious criminal histories were removed to El Salvador last night after being held at Guantanamo Bay, WH officials tell @FoxNews.

WH Press Secretary @PressSec provides the following statement to FOX:

“Every day, America becomes safer, thanks to the leadership of President Trump. If you’re an illegal terrorist or criminal – the Trump administration is coming for you.”

While I’m sure this won’t be the end of the back-and-forth courtroom antics the rogue judges are throwing at the Trump Administration, it’s definitely nice to see a solid WIN being celebrated for the good guys!

And a definite LOSS being tallied for those who would rather stick with the dangerous immigration policies of the Biden-era.

The left-leaning media is already spinning this as a travesty of justice; proof that President Trump is willing to BREAK THE LAW in order to push forward with so-called ‘racist’ policies.

Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is openly celebrating the fact they outsmarted those actively attempting to hurt America while feigning their monopoly on the moral and legal highroad.

And it feels SO GOOD to be WINNING again!
