WASHINGTON — The Trump administration says it did not defy a weekend court order to halt the use of wartime powers to fast-track deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador.

“The administration did not ‘refuse to comply’ with a court order,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after terrorist (Tren de Aragua) aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory.”
