Donald Trump's White House says it ignored a court order, according to a Sunday report.
Axios exclusively reported over the weekend that the White House "says it ignored a court order to turn around two planeloads of alleged Venezuelan gang members." The judge took heat after finding that the White House failed to carry out due process for the purported members of the gang.
The reasoning for ignoring the order, according to the outlet, is that "the flights were over international waters and therefore the ruling didn't apply."
