Excerpt:
The Department of Justice continued Wednesday to push back against a federal judge’s request for information about Venezuelan migrant deportations and whether it defied a court order, saying the request is “continuing to beat a dead horse.”
The big picture: It’s the latest response in the back and forth between the Trump administration and U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who has repeatedly requested that the government provide details on the migrant deportation flights conducted over the weekend.
- Boasberg extended the filing deadline to Thursday from Tuesday’s initial deadline for the DOJ to answer his questions regarding flight departure times and the passengers aboard the flights.
- When the DOJ resisted answering in its Tuesday filing citing concerns about “sensitive information bearing on foreign relations” being made public, Boasberg agreed they could do so under seal.
