'Oopsie': Marco Rubio blasted as he joins El Salvador president in mocking U.S. judge

Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined El Salvador President Nayib Bukele in mocking a U.S. court's order to halt deportation of migrants to that Central American country, a court filing posted Monday claims.

MSNBC and Just Security legal analyst Adam Klasfeld posted a screen capture of the filing from attorneys challenging President Donald Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport migrants. Despite a federal judge blocking the use of the act, Trump sent 261 people to El Salvador on Saturday. CBS News reported Monday that 137 of those individuals were deported using the 1798 law.

The filing revealed, "El Salvador's strongman is laughing at his order to send back the planes — and defendant Marco Rubio is laughing along with him," wrote Klasfeld on Blue Sky.

"Fed judge orders deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gangbangers to return to the U.S., blocks Trump from invoking Alien Enemies Act," the El Salvadoran president tweeted, including a link to a New York Post article. "Oopsie ... Too late." he wrote with a laughing-crying emoji.

Rubio reposted the comments from his personal X account.

"Some of the public comments made by Defendants and the President of El Salvador reinforce Plaintiffs’ concerns," the filing stated.

The attorneys then demanded that the judge order further information to discern whether the court ruling had been violated.

"In sum, given the careful phrasing of the government’s letter, the publicly available data, the government’s own statements, and the numerous media reports that the government may have chosen not to abide by the Court’s Order, Plaintiffs request that the Court immediately direct the government to submit one or more sworn declarations from individuals with direct knowledge of the facts clarifying the following," the filing continues.

That list includes whether any flights took off after the court order, whether flights landed after the court order, and whether those 137 migrants who were removed under the Alien Enemies Act remained on the flight. They also asked for clarification on whether, if the plane left prior to the ruling, it remained in the air after the court order.
