WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) - The Trump administration is in federal court.  They're facing questions over the president's controversial decision to deport alleged criminal immigrants after a judge ordered the flights taking them out of the country to turn around. The judge has questions about this ope ration after he ruled against it. He's called the Trump administration's responses so far "woefully insufficient,” but President Donald Trump says his administration did nothing wrong. "They're bad people and we don't want them in our country,” said Trump. The president argues flights transporting deportees from the U.S. to El Salvador last weekend were lawful under the alien enemies act. The wartime law allows deportations without a court appearance first. "I was told they went through a very strong vetting process,” said Trump. The ACLU, which filed the lawsuit, says the administration has failed to provide evidence. "They have refused to give individuals the opportunity to show that they're not actually part of the gang,” said ACLU Lead Counsel Lee Gelernt. Border czar Tom Homan said Thursday the judge was wrong. "(What?) He wanted us to do was turn planes around in midair full of terrorists and bring them back to the United States which is ridiculous, and we didn't do it,” said Homan. The administration calls the judge's push for more information judicial overreach and argues it involves sensitive national security information. ...read more read less
