President Donald Trump invoked a centuries-old law that would give him the ability to deport any noncitizen with little to no due process.

After a group of noncitizens sued to prevent their imminent deportations, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to direct two flights carrying noncitizens back to the United States more than 45 minutes before the first of the two flights landed in Honduras .

Both flights took off from Valley International Airport in Texas during a break in an emergency court hearing about the legality of the deportations.

Judge orders DOJ to immediately turn around two planes carrying noncitizens covered by his order.

The first deportation flight (G66143) that departed Texas arrives in Honduras .

The second deportation flight that departed Honduras for San Salvador lands in El Salvador .

Over 230 alleged members of Tren de Aragua are transferred from U.S. custody to El Salvador's terrorism center.
