Trump-appointed judge again holds admin in contempt over deportation

A Trump-appointed federal judge found the administration in contempt for sending a young asylum seeker back to El Salvador against court orders. This marks another episode in the ongoing friction between the Trump administration and federal courts over deportations that disregard judicial protections. The judge specifically cited violations of previous orders from November 2024, April 2025, and July 2026, and ordered the government to bring the asylum seeker back to the U.S. This decision underscores the persistent tension between executive actions and judicial oversight in immigration matters.
