Byron York suggested that the Trump administration is possibly seeking to avoid legal trouble by pausing its deportation flights after a recent court order was issued.
The White House confirmed on Wednesday that it is currently not planning further deportation flights for the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. This comes after Chief Judge James Boasberg in Washington’s district court ordered a two-week halt of the deportations on Saturday.
In the wake of this news, York noted how Trump himself has said that his administration will not defy a court order, and the White House’s move is due to the administration seeking to stay out of “iffy territory” amid litigation.
“I thought an important point in the briefing was Karoline Leavitt trying to place all of the lawsuits that the Trump Administration is facing, I don’t know how many there are right now, she tried to place them all as a continuation of the lawfare that President Trump experienced both when he was in office the first time, his four years out of office, and now as president again,” York, the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, said on Fox News’s America Reports.
