Venezuela will again be receiving deportation flights from the United States after the two countries struck a deal earlier Saturday. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro previously halted his country’s acceptance of U.

The Venezuelan government attributed a willingness to receive the flights to the plight of Venezuelan migrants sent to notorious prisons in El Salvador with little to no due process.

The judge told Trump-administration officials to explain by March 25 why their failure to bring the deported migrants back to the United States did not violate his order.

A federal judge admonished a Justice Department lawyer for failing to obey his oral order last weekend to have the US government halt deportation flights of alleged Venezuelan gang members who ended up in a prison in El Salvador.

The Trump administration appeared in court again on Friday, defending its decision to deport hundreds of Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador's mega-prison. On Saturday, President Trump cited a centuries-old law called the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants with alleged ties to the gang Tren de Aragua.
