Trump-Administration beruft sich auf das Staatsgeheimnisgesetz in einem hochkarätigen Abschiebeverfahren

Department of Justice invokes state secrets privilege

The Justice Department has invoked the state secrets privilege amid a court battle over the deportation of Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador.

Concerns Raised by the Trump Administration

• Citing national security concerns, Attorney General Pam Bondi and senior officials in the Trump administration claim that revealing details could pose a „reasonable danger“ to national security and foreign affairs.

Court Demands Transparency

This move comes as U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has demanded greater transparency regarding recent deportation flights, which included 261 migrants, despite his temporary block on using the Alien Enemies Act for immediate deportations.

Department of Justice’s Response

• The DOJ has largely resisted compliance, asserting that the court lacks the authority to interfere in national security matters.

Legal Dispute and Appeals

As the legal dispute intensifies, the Trump administration has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, with the possibility of escalating the case to the Supreme Court if needed.

Broader Implications

This ongoing situation highlights the complex intersections of immigration, national security, and judicial oversight.
