A federal judge has ruled that there is “probable cause” to hold the Trump administration in contempt over its removal of hundreds of migrants from the United States to a notorious prison in El Salvador despite an order to halt their deportation.

On Wednesday, D.C. U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled that the Trump administration’s “willful and knowing” actions — and their stonewalling during subsequent hearings — constitute “probable cause for a finding of contempt.”

It's funny how the Trump administration has "facilitated" the enforcement of Trump's Executive Order edicts through numerous attempts to withhold funding, but have not got around to even mentioning the funding of Garcia's internment, when it comes to following the court's orders.
