c) How did the Trump administration explain the continuation of the 2 flights of deported gang members?

5. Reacting to Judge Boasberg's ruling blocking the Trump administration from deporting these gang members, reader responses include:

• “And the question should be, why is a judge trying to protect terrorists who have invaded our country over American citizens?”
• "Why not send the Tren de Aragua gang members back to Venezuela [which is run by anti-American dictator Nicholas Maduro]? Because there is a good chance they would escape and be right back here."
• "The [Alien Enemies Act] law is on the books. Amongst its provisions, that enemy aliens do not have civil rights. The law has been previously applied. The executive has made the required declarations and is enforcing the law. This 'ruling' is flagrant partisanship."
