Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been at the center of a major controversy following the Justice Department's recent admission that she authorized the deportation of more than 100 Venezuelan men to El Salvador earlier this year, despite a federal judge's explicit order to halt the flights. According to the Justice Department's latest filing, Noem made the final decision after receiving legal guidance from senior officials, including then Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Emil Bove. The department argues that the judge's initial oral order did not carry legal weight and that the planes had already left U.S. airspace by the time a written directive was issued. The men were transferred to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison, where they remained for months before being returned to Venezuela in a prisoner exchange. Their attorneys say the deportees are still recovering from the trauma they endured. The Justice Department maintains that Noem's actions were lawful and consistent with a reasonable interpretation of the court's order, but civil liberties advocates argue that the government's explanation leaves significant gaps. Lawyers for the deportees are pushing for sworn testimony from several officials involved in the operation, including Bove, who is now a federal appeals court judge. The Supreme Court later ruled that the judge did not have jurisdiction to intervene in the emergency suit, but the justices blocked additional deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. The judge continues to assert his authority to pursue contempt proceedings. Noem's decision has sparked intense debate about the limits of executive power and the role of the judiciary in immigration matters.
