White House Slams Judge's Block on Deportation Flight, Citing National Security Concerns

A federal judge's recent decision to block a deportation flight has sparked a heated response from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Leavitt slammed the ruling, calling it 'absurd' and claiming it 'undermines' trust in the US government. The blocked deportation involved individuals with criminal histories, a point Leavitt emphasized to underscore the safety concerns for ICE agents. "This administration has complied with all court orders," Leavitt stated, highlighting the administration's commitment to legal processes. However, she expressed deep concern about the judge's decision, arguing that it jeopardizes international diplomacy and weakens the US's ability to negotiate with other nations. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges and tensions surrounding immigration policy in the United States.
