Judge Boasberg issues emergency TRO blocking AEA deportation flights

U.S. District Court Judge Amit Boasberg issues an emergency temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking the AEA deportation flights while legal challenges proceed. The TRO is signed while the first planes are already in flight to Central America. Boasberg finds that the plaintiffs raising First Amendment and due process claims have demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits.
