President Trump Announces New 'Trump-Class' Navy Battleships and Court Rules on Venezuelan Deportations
President Donald Trump has unveiled plans for a new class of Navy battleships named after himself, while a federal judge has ruled that the deportation of over 100 Venezuelans to El Salvador was illegal.
President Donald Trump has announced the development of a new class of Navy battleships, termed the "Trump-class," with the first vessel to be named USS Defiant. These ships are projected to be larger and more powerful than any previous U.S. warships, featuring advanced weaponry such as hypersonic missiles, railguns, and high-powered lasers. The initiative aims to revitalize the U.S. shipbuilding industry and enhance naval capabilities. Construction is expected to commence in the early 2030s.
In a separate development, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has ruled that the deportation of over 100 Venezuelan men to El Salvador was illegal, citing violations of due process. The men were deported under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a rarely used wartime law, and were detained in El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center. The judge ordered the administration to return the men to the U.S. or provide due process hearings abroad, though the logistics of such actions remain unclear.
