Contempt Inquiry Resumes Over Controversial Deportation Flights to El Salvador
A federal judge has revived a contempt inquiry into Trump administration officials, including DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, concerning their decision to proceed with deportation flights to El Salvador, despite a court order barring such actions. This inquiry follows allegations that Noem ordered the continuation of deportations after a judge explicitly directed that flights should be turned around. The Justice Department has confirmed that Noem made the final call to send deported men to El Salvador, igniting controversy and prompting judicial scrutiny. Judge Boasberg expressed serious concerns regarding the disregard of court orders, stating that justice requires the continuation of this inquiry into the actions of top U.S. officials amid an ongoing investigation into potential violations of law.
