US deports hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador despite court order

Their arrival comes less than 24 hours after a federal judge blocked a law Trump planned to use for the deportations.

So domestic law is about as worthless as international law now? At least it’s consistent now, I guess.

Well, the so called "rules based international order" has always been "The US imposes the order and makes the rules" so yeah, pretty much.

Oh yeah, sure.
I remember when the international law stopped the US from invading Irak on false premises.

Or when that same law stopped them from toppling governments abroad to put friendy regimes in charge, like Pinochet.

Such a marvelous thing, the international law.

What I believe or not is irrelevant as it is this question.

There has never been such a thing as a n "international law". There has been the US imposing its power and doing whatever it wants.

The only difference is now they do it in the open.

I think nations around the world should consider carefully what they do in response to El Salvador participating in this.

The lawlessness of ICE Will mean That tourists like Canadians British Germans have found out will be swept up into this sort of thing and cut it off to El Salvador, probably without any identification.

I won’t be surprised if people from the United States show up in El Salvador as well.
