Judge Criticizes Trump Administration Over Venezuela Deportations

A U.S. federal judge has sharply criticized the Trump administration for its handling of deportations involving Venezuelan migrants. The administration's response to a judicial request for detailed information on deportation flights was deemed "woefully insufficient." This comes amid allegations that the administration may have violated a court order temporarily blocking the deportations.

Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union, argue that the law is being misapplied, as it historically pertains to wartime scenarios. The judge has demanded further clarification on the timing and details of the flights, raising concerns about potential constitutional violations if the administration defies judicial decisions.
