US judge indicates deportations to South Sudan likely violated court order

Judge Brian Murphy has criticized President Trump’s handling of deportations to South Sudan, claiming the actions may violate his court order forbidding such deportations. In a Boston hearing, Murphy accused the administration of contempt for allegedly ignoring an injunction requiring migrants to appeal their removal. While the Department of Homeland Security argued that information about the flight was classified, the judge emphasized the importance of due process and fair hearing under the Fifth Amendment. This case highlights Trump’s broader strategy to deport immigrants to countries with significant human rights concerns, including South Sudan and Libya.
