Watch: Leavitt briefs White House press corps after deportations to El Salvador
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt briefed the press and took questions Monday, coming quick on the heels of a weekend effort to deport dozens of Venezuelans.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Sunday that hundreds of members of the Tren de Aragua gang have been deported under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, even as a federal judge ordered the removals to be temporarily stopped.
A federal judge on Saturday preemptively blocked the Trump administration’s reported efforts to quickly deport five Venezuelan nationals under the act.
The briefing was scheduled for 1 p.m. EDT.
