The March 15th order declaring that Tren de Aragua is, quote, conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the U.S. The order accuses the gang of operating in conjunction with the Maduro regime of Venezuela to destabilize the U.S. Five Venezuelan nationals sued the Trump administration to prevent their deportation under the act. Chief Judge of the D.C.

Circuit Court James Boasberg originally blocked the deportation of those five Venezuelans, then verbally expanded his order to include all deportees facing removal under the act. The written order halting the wider removal of aliens did not come until more than an hour later.

Federal prosecutors arguing the oral command, quote, did not amount to a binding injunction. They're focused on the written order.

The hearing lasted about one hour.

Judge Boasberg is expected to issue a ruling sometime next week, the DOJ facing possible sanctions if found in contempt.

Vance asked by Fox about the lawsuits against the administration's immigration actions.

0

293.168 - 311.857 Vice President J.D. Vance

Well, look, we're going to keep on appealing. We're going to keep on fighting back here. The legal border crossing is down over 95 percent in pretty much every part of the American southern border. Then, yeah, we got to get the violent criminals out of here. The courts, some radical left judges have stepped in and said you're not allowed to deport MS-13 gang members. That's crazy.

0

311.957 - 327.331 Vice President J.D. Vance

We think the Supreme Court is going to overrule it. We do not ask permission from far left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants. We do the American people's business. And again, for the American people who are watching, this is such a weird, mistaken placement of priorities.

333.268 - 359.806 Megyn Kelly

366.339 - 390.915 Hunter Metcalf

There was this kid, before I knew his name now, this kid was sitting under our tent at track. We asked him to move. He started getting aggressive and talking reckless. And my brother stepped in and said, he needs to move. He's like, make me move. Austin grabbed his backpack. This kid... I tried to whip around as fast as I could, but I didn't see the stab.

391.496 - 395.657 Hunter Metcalf

But then I look at my brother, and I'm not going to talk about the rest.
