Summary

Trump claimed ignorance regarding the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, stating he did not sign the order and that “other people handled it.”

Despite Trump’s claim, CNN confirmed the executive order bears his signature.

A federal judge ordered the deportation flights halted, but the administration defied the order, citing it as verbal and nonbinding.

Trump and his administration criticized the judge, with Attorney General Pam Bondi asserting the judiciary has no authority to challenge immigration decisions.

            Not trying to be rude here, but this ain’t it. This sort of thing happens to me a lot due to hypotension and I’m perfectly mentally capable. Criticize the shit he says, not his physical struggles/disability. This just normalizes ableism. A disabled person can very well be capable of leading.
