White House Condemns Judge's Block on Deportation of Illegal Immigrants

The White House strongly condemned a Boston district court judge's decision to halt the deportation of illegal immigrants. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the judge's actions are not only obstructing President Trump's immigration policies but also jeopardizing US national security and diplomatic relations. "Judge Brian Murphy is not the Secretary of State, he is not the Secretary of Defense or the Commander in Chief," Leavitt emphasized, highlighting the administration's belief that the judge overstepped his authority. The Department of Homeland Security had conducted a deportation flight from Texas, removing individuals described as "vicious illegal criminals." The judge's order to allow these individuals 15 days to reopen their immigration cases, with access to phones and attorneys, is seen by the White House as an unacceptable interference. This incident underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policy and the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches.
