The Trump administration deported more than 200 people who it claims are members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang, to El Salvador this weekend, multiple members of the administration said on social media on Sunday.

It was not immediately clear if the deportations happened before or after a federal judge in D.C. on Saturday issued an emergency order that told the administration to stop using wartime powers to deport people, and turn around any planes already in the air.

“Ooopsie… too late,” Bukele posted, in response to a news headline about the judicial order.

With the migrants now in El Salvador, it’s unclear what jurisdiction U.S. courts have over them. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about the timing of when the planes landed, or whether any migrants could be returned to the U.S. in response to the court’s order.
