Appeals Court Blocks Contempt Proceedings Against Trump Officials in Deportation Cases

A divided U.S. Court of Appeals overturned a district judge's criminal contempt order against the Trump administration for deporting Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, citing concerns over judicial overreach and executive authority in foreign policy. The case involves the use of the Alien Enemies Act and highlights tensions between the judiciary and the executive branch, with the appellate court siding with the administration and criticizing the judge's actions.
