A three-judge federal appellate panel appeared skeptical about the Trump Justice Department’s defense of the president’s deportation of over 200 Venezuelan nationals on March 15. The D.C. Circuit panel was hearing oral argument on the Trump administration’s appeal of a temporary restraining order issued by Chief Judge James Boasberg of the federal district court in Washington, D.C., which has halted the deportations. (The argument, which was streamed live, is available on the circuit’s website.)
The appeals court seemed doubtful because the administration’s position is almost incomprehensible.
