Bondi on continued deportation flights despite judge’s order: ‘Absolutely’

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Trump administration would “absolutely” continue to remove undocumented Venezuelan immigrants on deportation flights despite a ruling from a federal judge ordering them to pause their efforts.
“These are foreign terrorists, that the president has identified them, and designated them as such, and we will continue to follow the Alien Enemies Act,” Bondi said Monday during an appearance on Fox News’s “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Saturday temporarily blocked President Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies Act, which would grant him the authority to detain and deport individuals of countries deemed foreign adversaries with little due process.
Bondi ripped Boasberg for attempting “to meddle” in foreign affairs.
“He can’t do it,” she told guest host Jeanine Pirro, adding that “what he’s done is an intrusion on the president’s authority.
“You know, this one federal judge again thinks he can control foreign policy for the entire country, and he cannot,” the attorney general said.
