US Court Ends Contempt Proceeding in Trump Deportations Case
A federal appeals court has overturned a judge's decision to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt of court. The case was related to the deportation of accused Venezuelan gang members to an El Salvador prison, despite a court order to halt the deportations. The appeals court found that the judge's finding of "probable cause" to hold the officials in contempt was not justified. The ruling marks a victory for the Trump administration, which had argued that the judge's contempt order was improper and that the officials had not violated the court's order. The case highlights the ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary over immigration policies during the Trump presidency.
