Court Order Sparks Debate
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg had issued an order barring the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for deportations, temporarily halting the process.

Judge Boasberg announced on Friday that his inquiry into the potential violation of his order would continue, keeping the controversy alive.

Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” Homan clarified that the administration would not outright defy the judge’s order but reiterated its commitment to cracking down on threats. “We’re going to keep arresting public safety and national security threats,” Homan stated. He highlighted that those deported were given due process under existing immigration laws, contrary to critics’ claims.
