‘American democracy has died’, says US expert | LBC

LBC's Washington Correspondent Simon Marks speaks to James O'Brien.

Judges have been left 'ballistic' and 'incredulous' after Donald Trump's administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan migrants, despite a court order.

The alleged gang members' ultimate destinatio was a mega-prison in El Salvador.

A judge then ordered the planes back, telling the government's lawyers verbally that they should do so "however that's accomplished — whether turning around the plane or not."

But the court order was never heeded, and the planes stayed the course.

Simon Marks joins experts warning that “America’s constitutional order has died”.

'It is absolutely chilling,' says James O'Brien.
