Trump Administration Utilizes a Brilliant Workaround to Outwit Biden Judge Who Tried to Bar Them from Deporting Certain Illegal Aliens

The Trump Administration pulled off an incredibly creative move to humiliate an activist judge trying to stop them from deporting dangerous illegal aliens.
As Axios reported, Team Trump revealed on Wednesday how they managed to avoid violating a federal judge’s restraining order barring them from deporting certain illegals.
U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy, a Biden appointee, ordered the Trump administration to ensure that people with final removal orders have a chance to argue that deportation to a country other than their own could jeopardize their safety.
The Trump administration, though, exploited a loophole in the ruling and deported several illegal aliens anyway. It turns out Murphy’s order only applied to the Department of Homeland Security, not any other federal agencies.
So, Team Trump decided to use the Department of Defense (DOD) to ship out illegal aliens, thus outwitting Murphy. In a Wednesday court filing, an attorney representing DHS pointed out that because the DOD is not a defendant in the case, the deportations it has carried out so far comply with the Biden judge’s order.
