And then there are hundreds of Venezuelans who were sent to El Salvador - even though a federal judge ordered that the planes reverse course and return the detainees to the United States!
The right-wing president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, made a joke of it on social media: “Oopsie … Too late.” And his post was recirculated by the White House communications director, Steven Cheung. So they have contempt for the law.
“This sure looks like contempt of court to me,” said David Super, a law professor at Georgetown University. “You can turn around a plane if you want to.”
