0:12.4 | U.S. District Judge James Boasberg says, so far, the U.S. government has given a, quote, woefully insufficient explanation. |
0:20.6 | The judge had temporarily blocked President Trump's |
0:23.3 | use of a wartime power to deport the Venezuelan migrants. The Justice Department says it never |
0:28.8 | violated the judge's order, but it still has not provided the judge with the full details. |
