Solicitor General John Sauer responded Saturday to the Supreme Court's extraordinary overnight order that temporarily blocked the removal of any alleged Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members to El Salvador calling it "unprecedented" and wrong.

President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court to roll back its decision to block the deportation of Venezuelans to a notorious prison in El Salvador, arguing that the early-morning order was overbroad and premature.

The White House is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to lift its pause on deportation flights of a group of Venezuelans who they say are gang members. In a separate case, the Supreme Court has also ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was sent to an El Salvador mega-prison.
