The administration of President Donald Trump invoked a state secrets privilege on Monday after a federal judge demanded more information about its migrant deportation flights to El Salvador.

In a filing this week, Attorney General Pam Bondi informed U.S. District Judge James Boasberg that it was the position of the administration that giving him more detailed information would compromise national security.

She said in the filing that the judge had all the information he needed to come to a decision in the case, which included statements from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem who both said that the information could compromise national security.

“The information sought by the Court is subject to the state secrets privilege because disclosure would pose reasonable danger to national security and foreign affairs,” she and other top officials in the Department of Justice said in the filing.

“No more information is needed to resolve any legal issue in this case. Whether the planes carried one TdA terrorist or a thousand or whether the planes made one stop or ten simply has no bearing on any relevant legal issue,” they said.

“This is a case about the President’s plenary authority, derived from Article II and the mandate of the electorate, and reinforced by longstanding statute, to remove from the homeland designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States,” the attorney general said.

“Further intrusions on the Executive Branch would present dangerous and wholly unwarranted separation-of-powers harms with respect to diplomatic and national security concerns that the Court lacks competence to address,” she said.

Rubio warned in his attachment to the following that foreign partners were involved in the operation and that revealing that information would make them less likely to work with the United States government in the future.

“If foreign partners believed that any relevant details could be revealed to third parties, those foreign partners would be less likely to work with the United States in the future,” he said. “That impairs the foreign relations and diplomatic capabilities of the United States and threatens significant harm to the national security of the United States.”
