The White House claims planes bearing migrants to El Salvador were in international waters off the Yucatán, so that’s why they ignored the court order to turn them around. International waters, eh? Isn’t that the Gulf of *America* now?

That’s for boats. Planes in the air are under the jurisdiction of the country where they are registered.
But the pilots will be arrested once they enter American air space?
The pilots likely don’t know. Their job is to fly the plane not to follow court cases. The people who ordered them to keep going or refused to recall them should be the ones that are arrested.
Yeah double caught in a lie. And now he's got to waste more of our tax money to bring them back and that's exactly what he will wind up happening to do watch he's going to buckle again
tRump and his flying monkeys are just wrong. It is for the American people to stop him. If they do not stop him, then this is on the American people. YOU HAVE THE POWER
These days, I wonder if it is not a blessing to be deported from this shithole country?
They are now slaves in El Salvador. That is definitely not a better situation.
Just like Adolf 🤬🤬🤬
He's definitely following a similar playbook.
😂
Bernie's nation wide town hall meetings are drawing record crowds. Chuck Schumer betrayed the American people when he sided with Trump. Democrats should demand he step down and replace him with Bernie Sanders. I think Bernie could marshal enough American voters to oust Trump.
😜
Hi George I just figured out you were on Star Track! I also am realizing you were a victim of the Japanese internment camps. I live in south Florida and know many people who could potentially be victimized by this tyrannical regime and it is so horrifying. You have 100% my respect!
Heh nice observation. Guess he’s ceding the gulf back to Mexico eh?
Gulf of America for the base…. Gulf of Mexico for legal arguments…
The last I checked, being in international waters has nothing to do with being recalled to your legal home port. The Captain of my submarine, didn't debate whether to follow orders based on whether we were in international waters.
💯😆😂🤣
It's "American Waters",only when it's convenient.
Is he dead,yet?
When the Con said wait, we're going to be rolling in money but there's going to be pain. Who's going into pain paying 20- 100% tariffs depending on the country? B-Aires don't pay taxes and buy what they need overseas.
Since when are planes in water?
🏆Perfectly said, sir. 👏

🎤🎶”Whomp there it is!”
Nothing they say is acceptable. Give them 24 hours to return ther victims, and, face additional charges of kidnapping. Plus throw all involved including Biff in jail for contempt. Period. Then of course we go to work tomorrow and do our jobs like nothing is happening. How do we do this? 🚬😎
I feel exactly the same, so weird going to work and thinking what the heck, the country is falling apart around us!!!
Nope, and never will be, regardless of Trumps "Executive" Order. He is not "strongman" enough to erase it's original name in the minds of millions.
good catch!
Plus who cares where it was? The plane had a US registration
It was in an official flight. It wasn't just a regular passenger flight to some holiday destination!!
The claim being that we do not have any control over our planes outside of our airspace? Seems like an insane thing to claim.
Ahh … good point. But not one that’ll be well taken by a dictator. They have their own set of rules and are above the law, don’t cha know …
🤣👍
It’s all BS!
Even if flying over international waters, a court order still applies to US planes. A federal court order was disregarded & there should be dire consequences.
But there WEREN’T. He called the judges bluff and the judge backed down. He won. I think it’s all over, except for the shouting.
It should't be, since it makes US a lawless state. Add that to disregarding the Constitution & what you've got is a renegate state.
Donald Trump might as well move the White House to international waters if he wants to keep ignoring the judicial system.
That buffoon will say anything
haaaaa that's a good one!
Yes!!!!
Whatever comes out of the administration regarding the flights El Salvador is a lie. The judge's order was ignored, plain and simple!
Yes, the old ham ‘I was just following orders’ by Nazi guards! How proud they must be!
Have they started throwing people out of helicopters yet?
I’m sure they’ll get there!
Don’t go giving them ideas.
We saw how they ended...
Bullshit
It doesn't matter. They're still American planes and therefore under American law.
💯💯💯If that's the case then they will argue they can do anything they want to anyone as long as they're in international waters, including American citizens.
Yup! It's not good.
Sure they did.
That's funny, a flight to Costa Rica isn't considered International
They are so full of lies. Bent truths.
😂😂😂
Busted!🤡
They will say whatever benefits themselves
In his little mind
Bullshit ! Trump ignored the order from the judge!
😂
Now they've changed their position to fuck you, were above the law." #impeachhimnow
Good point. Although, it will always be the Gulf of Mexico. That’s exactly how I would throw that in Trumps face
Talking about both sides of their mouth, the hypocrisy!
They only wave around laws that benefit their cause while ignoring those they disagree with.
Just like their religion. Evil.
these people are so fucking sick. there isn't a punishment fit for the inhumane way these people think things should be. How about a big fucking no to it all. bad things are going to happen to all of these ppl, just karma alone will wreck them for their subhuman actions and words against all of us
Wow, they issued a court order while the plane was in the air?!🤯
I knew the Sunderland flying boat still had its uses.
Only when it suits them.
They Want their cake and eat it too!
Good one 👍😊
That's exactly what the judge should say
Good point George!
If that was a plane of white people they would definitely care
trump’s wilful disregard of court orders, the law & the constitution are a direct result of him never having been held accountable for any of his treasonous acts during his first admin or the intervening time btwn 2021 - 2025. We are now a rogue nation & have only ourselves to blame.
Remember trump lies--about everything.
Good god they are ready with bullshit answers to get around anything.
Hmm...forced labour? Money changed hands? Sounds like slavery. Gang members? Since when? Was there a trial or any sort of investigation? Since when did America start sending its prisoners overseas to prison contractors, with or without a criminal conviction?
Exactly, sold for $6million.
"Interntional Waters" is meaningless to the authority of an American Court with regards to an American Aircraft. In other words, BS!
Cannot make this crap up!
If you agree, don't just share on this forum. Get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com
Isn't it international air space? I hope these poor souls weren't in the water. Their lies are SO sloppy!
It’s the Gulf of America when it needs to be
Dateline NBC opened a story with a massive map featuring, in large letters, the GULF OF MEXICO.
Fantastic point! It’s way over their head.
touche´
I’m no lawyer but that is a pretty lame defense. Seems obvious that any agent of the federal government is responsible to follow orders from said government wherever they may be at the moment. Does the Navy not respond to orders from the govt because they’re in international waters? No. Total bs.
Lame President too?
It’s obviously specious nonsense, but hey, that’s all that’s required for the MAGA audience (and the majority of people who will accept what they’re told).
Technically in military law, a US military ship or plane is treated as "American Soil"
FACT!
Bully is all
This is chilling. Is the USA headed down the path of The Disappeared? Chile, Argentina, we remember 😓
does that mean we can shoot down a US aircraft in international airspace?
Ha!
😉
😅
I blame the Supreme Court for most of what the cheeto is doing!- - He allowed ignore the law now that the court has anointed him king because "HE" (fRump) thinks he is "IS" a king!
When it suits them
Ha ha! I think you are right! However, they were supposed to bring them back anyway.
They need to arrest somebody! Several somebodies. Make his people more scared of breaking the law than of trump!
They should throw some of the trump lawyers in the pokey for contempt of court for a couple of days. If these trumpie attys are afraid to violate the Constitution, we might get somewhere.
"Not only have I identified America's most serious problem I also have the solution to it. I have a different problem however. My problem is that if I did tell you the solution to America's problem.....I would have a BIG problem.....and that My Fiends...IS a problem." Izzie Zenning.
I’m not clear how the plane being over international waters, but still controlled by the US government and capable of turning back, justifies ignoring the court order. A decision was made to ignore a lawful court order. It does not fall to the subject of that order to read in limits into that order.
Hes going to go after all of Bidens pardons we have to get on bondi now!!
The judges order was legal and binding to all parties. Even if the judge’s order was wrong, i.e. Lacking jurisdiction or in error of law, the judge’s order is still binding until review. One party disregarded the order, and the excuse is ludicrous. This isn’t over. This was defiance.
In addition, Attorney General Bondi issued a statement saying Judge Boasberg had "sided with terrorists" in his ruling. I hope he charges her with Contempt of Court.
We need some more analysis of the doctrine of qualified immunity. Trump v. U.S. gives Trump immunity for "official" acts. It does not protect everyone else. So that case does not apply to everyone from JD Vance on down. (More)
I wonder about what kind of immunity FOTUS get? No info anywhere to look for it.
But they can claim qualified immunity from lawsuits. Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine that shields officials from lawsuits unless they violate clearly established law. They lose qualified immunity if they intentionally violate a court order. Let's start suing the motherfuckers directly.
Sadly, Republicans are above our laws.
They aren’t above our laws…. But they are very good at breaking our laws and stacking our court to get off, or not get charged! And dumb Americans gave them the keys to everything…. We deserve to be dismantled! I will never forgive those that voted DJT!
We don’t deserve to be dismantled. We need to regroup and reject the fascist claims by billionaires that we are a failure.
I’m afraid too, but I believe the Constitution will hold and we’ll see the end of this PoS.
I wish I had your confidence.
Confidence doesn’t cost anything, it’s just hope. But the Constitution is all we have.
💯 the Constitution and hope. I've refused to feel despair brought on by *anyone else* my entire life, especially by evil SOBs like these. Early emotional & physical abuse trained me to NEVER give up mentally, switch to solution mode, and #persist.
Piece of paper means nothing if no one enforces it.
The constitution means nothing to them. If that was the case the mango Mussolini wouldn’t have been able to run for president. Per 14th amendment section 3.
Or articles of impeachment would've been introduced on the first day when he pardoned/commuted the J6 insurrectionists. Or after all of the other extreme executive overreaches that occurred subsequently. And yet, Congress voted to surrender their "power of the purse" by passing the CR...
I can’t feel any hope. I only feel doom. I feel we have no one to turn to to help us out.
Because,you've allowed all of your allies to be alienated.
I'm sorry, but the elected House & Senate Rs were seated Jan 3 & both chambers held their majorities from the last Congress. It's become painfully obvious the Rs have no spines. Impeachment proceedings would've only gone down in 🔥. We cannot count on Rs to stop ANYTHING he does. Good thought, tho.
That's precisely what I'm saying here. Congress has abdicated their duty and their oath to the American people.
"They aren’t above our laws…. But they are very good at breaking our laws and stacking our court to get off, or not get charged!" 💯 This is exactly how trump got off (pun UNintended). Appeal, appeal, appeal all the way up to the stacked SCOTUS. ALL of this has been in the works since the early 80s.
The past 2 months are NOTHING like we've seen before. Clinton got impeached for lying about a blow job in the oval office. If I wrote a book about this happening a year ago, nobody would have believed it. Maybe 1 or 2 things. But everyday several more unbelievable shit storms.
They don’t give a shit about your laws and that should be scaring everyone - whether citizen, resident or even tourist.
But that requires logic and nothing about tRumpets are logical.
It also requires feelings/emotions so I guess that would also rule them out as other than hate & anger nothing else seems to register.
Not true. If they were, we never would have had laws. They’ve just turned their backs on it because it doesn’t align with their vision for America. And Trump has had four years to regurgitate his lies about the state of America with Fox and Newsmax. It’s easier to listen to propaganda.
But, they refuse accountability and continually get away with it.
This is why next week will mean so much, because hearings will be held. If this defiance is not corrected a full blown Constitutional crisis occurs, and if it does, it’s an illegitimate SCOTUS that welcomed it.
We already have a full blown Constitutional Crisis because Trump took Congress's Power of the Purse for himself.
No, they are not! And don't let them forget that!
Tell this to the judges. I agree but that carries no weight.
Only Trump has immunity.
This frame of mind isn’t helping anything. In fact, it’s enabling by as fuck. Call your representatives for fucks sake. Capital switchboard (202) 224-3121.
I have a couple of them. Even left my name, email and phone number daring them to call me back. But you know how cowards are.
Stay strong friend. 💖
The rule of law is as irrelevant as the constitution under trump America is a pariah state
Good one George
It really doesn't matter where they were. Judges orders are in effect wherever. I mean Americans can't just do criminal acts because they are not on American land. That some real bullshit she's trying to spin.
Unfortunately American exceptionalism has in fact made many Americans, and previous US governments think exactly that. Anne Sacoolas is the most immediate example that comes to my mind. I’m sure there’s lots of others.
That's definitely some bs you're spinning. Americans actually think they can do whatever they want anywhere. Her saying this I'd just a way of saying 'fuck you' judge. Something tells me this judge isn't having any of it.
One hadn’t even left Texas yet. They’re liars.
you have evidence of that ? this would prove beyond doubt they are lying about the 'rationale'
They’re always lying.
just an update, the departure from TX HLR airport, was at 19:37 EDT the filing from MAGAT DOJ itself claims the judge order was issued at 19:26 EDT
small detail...that Post shows departure from XPL at 11:xx PM This is NOT a USA airport.
Here.. www.flightaware.com/live/flight/... The SAME plane departed TX - HRL, at 18:37 CDT Can someone find the time of the judge order ?
9:20 EDT
AM or PM ?
military
You have the link for the judge order with timestamp? I like to have all sources before using it :)
I’m guessing he gave the order in EDT, given the district.
So their excuse does NOT hold water..
Even if chartered it was flown and/or crewed by US Military so it is considered a "Military Vessel" and hence "American Soil"
I'm trying to find out who crewed it. Was it US military?
Pretty sure that is incorrect, a military plane is NOT American soil from what I can see. The point is the judge order AS PER MAGAT DOJ, was issued at 19:26 and the plane departed HLR in TX at 19:37 www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...
It’s called transponders genius. We know where the planes are.
now, honest advice, don't be an asshole by default, makes you look fucking stupid.
Yes, I know, shockingly enough, I am literally looking at the route and they seem to have crossed at 19:46 EDT or so into MX airspace. www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...
Lies! Lies! Lies!
That's an internal name
The Gulf of America is an internal name for 30% of America. Nobody else is going to change.
🤔🥴
Good catch. Those rascals are liars! It's so wrong what they're doing. They're showing themselves to be monsters in the flesh. No good will come from their actions except individual redemptions. ice agents included. When it hits the fan, I hope the Marshals will hold the line/honor the constitution.
I BLAME AMERICANS FOR THIS, I BLAME DEMOCRATS FOR THIS. YOU STOOD BY AND DID NOTHING. YOU WERE TOO AFRAID, COWARDS. DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DID?! SITTING AROUND POSTING MEMES RATHER THAN BEING ON THE STREETS?! YOU ARE ALL COWARDS.
I blame all Canadians for Tim Horton’s doughnuts sucking and Mr. Sub being terrible. That makes about as much sense.
Tami, if you care so little about what your government is doing IN YOUR NAME, then say so. But don't write bullshit for the sake of writing bullshit.
You don’t know jack about how heartbroken and scared so many Americans are. We organized, we rallied, and we donated. It has been devastating. What more do you think we should have done? If even Canadians have lost compassion, the world is bleak.
And I do know what that fear is like. My country was stolen by your country, a dictator planted so you could steal our resources, people murdered, sent to exile. I know exactly what you're feeling, I already lived it. And if I'm angry I'm also sad cause I've never seen 300mil people act defeated
Again, stop judging and assuming you know what we are we feeling, thinking, planning, and doing. You don’t. I’m not judging your experience, why do you think you can judge mine?
You think canada isn't scared, but we were scared for 1 second then we went into action. It's ok to be scared, what's not ok is to do nothing. Less than 5% of Americans are pounding pavement. 300 million + people live in the USA Where is everyone?😞
Okay, we are protesting, we are boycotting, we are calling our congresspeople, so what specifically do you think we should do? What specific action did you personally take after you were scared for one second?
The problem is you think what your and others is doing is enough. Until you are fighting for your life, that's when you know what you are doing is not enough. There are some on the streets protesting cause they're fighting for their lives, are you? If you're not, then you still don't get it
No, we don’t think we are doing enough, but we’re trying to figure it out. You are telling me what we think, which is ridiculous. I assume you weren’t fighting for your life in Canada; which country were you fighting for your life in?
"You enable fascism!" Democrats: "Oopsie!"
How about you blame Republicans, who did not stand by doing nothing, abut actually did it, and are still doing it?
So the rest of you get a pass then? You get to sit at home and do nothing to save your country? The country that you love?
I never said I exclusively blame Republicans, but you exclusively blame the Democrats, at least that's what you explicitly wrote: "I blame Democrats for this." I'm so sick of people demanding Dems to fix the Reps' fuck-ups, and not once blaming Reps for fucking things up in the first place.
Lol
WAS DONALD TRUMP DROPPING IMMIGRANTS INTO INTERNATIONAL WATERS FROM DEPORTATION AIRPLANES ? IS THAT WHY DONALD TRUMP CALLS IT GULF OF AMERICA NOW ?
don't confuse them with the facts
Wait…they ignored the court order? 🤬
Good point.
Good point.
Somebody should be held accountable! OH,wait, nobody holds them accountable for ANYTHING! That's for everyone else!
Yup supposedly.
Nope, it’s the Gulf of Mexico!
They were on an American plane. The judge ordered that plane back.
Devilishly clever
The government of my country (El Salvador), tried to make it look like an amazing event, but the people were not so happy to receive criminals from other countries, even people who usually support the president.
Good Point! One would think the Gulf of America would mean something 🤔
That's not how the law worrks. And for the thousandth time. Why aren't the lawyers who blatantly ignore the law losing their law licenses?
This.
Mr flip flop ADHA cruel gaslighting hypocrite
😆😆😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Democrats need to do everything legally possible to hurt as many Republicans as possible.
I live in a heavily red area, but I’m boycotting businesses that support republicans and willing to travel if necessary to get things.
You are awesome
It's not Gulf of America when it's inconvenient.
Lying liars just lying more.
Ha!
Oh SNaP
Makes no difference. Trump is disobeying court orders left and right.
It suddenly became The Gulf of Inconvenient Facts when the judge's decision was announced. Let's see how the judge reacts to such stupidity.
Yup
George... as much as I hate trump, there are two CONTINENTS named america... in fact, his claiming nationalism around that word (while continuing to ignore the global south as inhabitants of the continent he is trying to pilfer) is one of the things that make him look like an ignorant disgrace.
If those planes were shot down it'd be an act of war. Bullshit excuse.
You can’t have both ways felon 47
Only when it suits his purpose, whatever the hell that is. Still the Gulf of Mexico to me. And Trump is still a felon. And a racist.
Should be called the Gulf of the Orange Asshole Bitch.
The GOP are just thugs... And ignoring the law comes naturally..
Nothing’s going to change until they start locking people up for doing bad things. Particularly when you have billionaires out there were normal fines that could cripple anyone else are coffee money.
What's one more lie for maga? Its no big deal since they don't believe in the constitution.
Taken to concentration camps for as they claimed zero idleness program. Aka slave labor
Lol!!
He will blatantly ignore any court order as he has the Supremes Court making it easy.
What of the report that a third plane left after the court order was signed? If true, then, IMO, the judge should find the administration in criminal contempt and those responsible should spend time in jail for their defiance of the court order.
Well yeah, they SHOULD….but who’s going to arrest them? Trump owns the DOJ now. And even if they were arrested and tried, it’s a federal case and Trump would pardon them. WE. ARE. FUCKED!
There is no accountability. He got away with 34 felonies and stealing classified documents.
Kristi Noem belongs in jail for this.
This ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻This a million times over. Lock her up!
And many other things...
* It appears the only way to stop the MAGA cult’s coup d’ etat & the transformation of America democracy into a authoritarian nativist Christian evangelical fundamentalists theocracy will be protesting in town halls, in the streets & at the ballot boxes, if there is another election. *
Planes *in* the water? That would fall under Maritime law.
You just can't make this crap up
The problem isn't Donald Trump. The problem is the morons who support Trump. Without them, Trump is nothing.
Never, ever forget Trump the traitor.He's in this up to his eyeballs.He's a big boy and he knew what he was doing. He allowed Musk to run loose and destroy, steal and invade our personal info, take our jobs, take our rights away. Criminals don't need supporters.He just needed their votes, remember?
He wouldn't be President if not for the Republicans.
But Republicans are tooooo afraid of Trump & Magas with guns to stand up for the Rule of Law & our Constitution! Cowards!
Bullshit, they want what he's dishing out.
yes
They only tried to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to get around the offshore drilling restrictions.
That statement does not make sense; Those were American Planes, and they ignored a court order.
Well, no, they didn't. It's not as though the court would have communicated with anyone onboard. You can't ignore something if you're unaware of its existence. The attorneys and senior members of the administration are a different matter, though.
The trump administration knew about the court order and they could (and should) have communicated with the plane. But they didn’t because they’re criminals. When you elect felons to run a country you can’t expect them to follow the law.
Also the migrants were deplaned in Ecuador! Violation of law!
It was a Court order!! We don’t have a King! - we have the Rule of Law & Constitution interpreted by credible Courts. The silly ignorant Press Secretary is Wrong!
I thought Kaylie McIlninny was bad. Press Secretary Barbie takes the cake.
Sociopathic liars.
Yep! He’s an idiot!
But o. A USA plane so USA soul, so under USA law. You officially live in Fascist nation, get out while you can.
I hope when this is all over that there is endless movies like Hot Shots about how dumb America is in this period of time.
Even if the planes were over international water, the person with the authority to tell the pilots to turn around was very definitely in the USA, and thus under the jurisdiction of the US courts.
If the planes belong to the US, then US law applies over international waters.
Spot on George. I call BS foul.
Touche'
🤣😂
I am so hoping the judge goes after this. We cannot allow the administration to continue to ignore court orders. Federal Marshalls need to take agency heads into custody until orders are followed.
Good one! 👍
Oralè Resisters Illegal Huevos: Trump seizing More Eggs than Fentanyl At the Mexican Border! #GotEggs #NotMyJoker #USDemocracy
Fucking egg, man. They're just eggs.
It's a lot harder to keister a carton of eggs than a kilo of drugs apparently
Evidently so! 😂🤣😅
And if they break, they're a real pain in the arse to get back out. 😁
Oralè Resister Trump Begging Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands & Finland For Eggs, while bashing all of them? Finland said No. lol 😝 #GotEggs #NoHuevos4Trump #USDemocracy #NotMyJoker
Two weeks ago they were saying that they’re going to import 15,000 tons of eggs from Turkey. Wonder what happened to that plan? I don’t want Turkish eggs. I want them to vaccinate our hens.
Why would you reach out and help the person who’s trying to tear your society apart?
I support this new mission because eggs are highly addictive and the gateway food to bacon
🤣🤣🤣
Egg addiction. What a desaster!
That might mean parrots and parrot eggs. It's a huge black market bullshit business. Maybe chicken eggs, but ..
The main items being seized by US customs at the Canadian border are chicken eggs, not parrot. Why? A dozen sells for US $2.75 in Canada. Because of tariffs on Canadian exports, US has now asked to import eggs from Europe, which was refused. MAGA are real geniuses. 🙄
They're talking about chicken eggs. thelogic.co/news/canada-...
Good point.Gulf of America
George just here spitting facts like some phat MC 🎤 drop it like its hot George!
I think Rubio will mow have to call it The Gulf of Oopsie,Too Late.
In the universe of bullshit excuses this is a megaplanet.
At least the White House is still making excuses for ignoring court orders—they could just ignore them and…
Since when do international norms have any effect on the Trump regime?
And exactly who was on that plane? Who got disappeared without due process?!?
More than likely, the people who pick your crops, work in your Elder care, facilities, work in the emergency room, work in your local hospitals and doctors offices. Work in your grocery stores, drive the trucks to get your product to where you want it and a whole host of other necessary things
I'm assuming there is a time-stamped Instagram of a Trump official on board trying to sell her designer bomber jackets, it can prove where they were
I'm sure the judge will not be impressed. If he wanted to, he could pull Global X's 121 permit...
They’re lawless scum.
That may win awards for the most half-assed excuse ever.
Brilliant 👏 👏
The plane is considered American Soil.
Until it lands, yes.
56 days for the transition from democracy to dictatorship. Is that a record?
Hitler did it in 53.
He can't even "be best" at that, right Malaria?
Oh George, I watched you as a child on TV. Way back when Star Trek first aired. You continue to amaze and entertain. But I can never unsee your act as a crazy crew member wielding a Samurai Sword..lol
Or the Gulf of Steve Martin. :)
THE REAL TERRORISTS ARE HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
