WASHINGTON – He judge Federal James Boasberg decided this Friday to extend for another two weeks the court order that blocks the Deportations of migrants under the law of foreign enemies, a rule dating from the 17th century and the one that the US administration was accepted to expel irregular migrants.

The United States expelled this month towards El Salvador to more than 200 migrants To those who linked the Mara Salvatrucha and the Train of Aragua, despite the fact that a federal judge came to dictate an order to paralyze the transfers. But the order would have been late, when the flight had left the United States. President Donald Trump came to claim the expulsion of this judge for considering that he was entrusting into political issues.
In force until April 12
The temporary restriction order promoted by Boasberg on March 15 expired this Saturday, although now with the extension it will remain in force until April 12. The judge also set a hearing for April 8 in which the viability of a more lasting order will be studied, according to ABC News.
