Summary
Trump claimed ignorance regarding the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, stating he did not sign the order and that “other people handled it.”
Despite Trump’s claim, CNN confirmed the executive order bears his signature.
A federal judge ordered the deportation flights halted, but the administration defied the order, citing it as verbal and nonbinding.
Trump and his administration criticized the judge, with Attorney General Pam Bondi asserting the judiciary has no authority to challenge immigration decisions.
So his sycophants have convinced him to hand over the keys and let him play golf. I’m sure this will play out poorly.
He probably did sign the order. He’s just too cowardly to admit it.
