Judge says migrants sent to El Salvador prison must get a chance to challenge their removals.

U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg gave the administration one week to come up with a way to make those claims.

It's the latest milestone in the monthslong legal saga over the fate of deportees imprisoned at El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center .

Deportations of people in the country illegally can continue in those areas under the AEA .

Judges in those cases have also found that Trump cannot use the act to target a criminal gang rather than a state.

The Supreme Court will likely eventually decide those issues.

The Trump administration contends that the gang is acting as a shadow arm of Venezuela 's government.
