The Trump Administration is striking a resounding victory, defying a judge’s last-ditch attempt to halt the deportation of Venezuelan gang members. Despite an emergency injunction issued by a federal judge, appointed by none other than Barack Obama, aimed at stopping planes mid-flight, the Trump team triumphed.
The case against this decisive action was driven by the usual suspects—the Marxist, America-hating ACLU and Democracy Forward. Their attempt to keep these gang members on U.S. soil was thwarted as two flights, loaded with nearly 300 gang members destined for El Salvador, successfully landed unimpeded.
El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, responded with a cheeky “Oopsie…Too late,” on social media, accompanying a New York Post article headline that highlighted the judge’s failed intervention.

The White House seized this moment to add some levity to the situation. On Monday morning, they released a humorous video mocking the deported gang members by playing the 1998 hit “Closing Time” by Semisonic.
In the video, the Tren de Agua members appear bewildered as they are searched and led onto flights bound for their new home—CECOT, El Salvador’s massive prison facility. The catchy tune chimed, “Closing time…You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.” Watch the video below:

This bold move, coupled with some light-hearted trolling, is exactly what the American people voted for, and it’s no surprise that President Trump’s approval rating is soaring. The message is clear: leftist judges must abide by the U.S. Constitution or continue facing defeat at the hands of the Trump Administration.
