The Trump administration moved quickly to deport approximately 250 Venezuelan nationals it accused of gang affiliation, seeking to avoid a federal judge's order to halt the action, Axios reported on Monday.
The sprawling piece, which cites two senior administration officials, reveals that the planes filled with alleged members of the "Tren de Aragua" gang were already over international waters when the court order was issued, leading officials to argue that the ruling did not apply because the deportation flights had left U.S. airspace before the order was issued.
