US judge says deportations to South Sudan likely violate court order
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy is weighing ordering a plane carrying the migrants to the African nation to turn around. The judge had previously barred the Trump administration from swiftly deporting migrants to countries other than their own. The development marked a new clash between the federal judiciary and Republican President Donald Trump’s administration in its efforts to implement his calls for mass deportations as part of his hardline immigration agenda. “Based on what I have been told, this seems like it may be contempt,” Murphy told Elianis Perez, a lawyer with the U.S., Department of Justice. “Please help! They cannot be allowed to do this,” the spouse of a Vietnamese man who was believed to have been deported said in an email to his lawyer. “This seems like a violation of the Fifth Amendment,” the lawyer said of the deportation of the man and others to South Sudan. “They are not entitled to be deported without due process,” said the lawyer for a group of migrants pursuing a class action lawsuit on behalf of migrants.

Trump Allegedly Violates Court Order, Sends Asian Immigrants to South Sudan
Two men, who are originally from Myanmar and Vietnam and were being held in U.S. immigration custody, were deported to war-torn South Sudan, according to their lawyers. Their lawyers said they received the a notice of the deportation plan on Monday evening and that by Tuesday morning, they were on a plane with 10 other deportees. Lawyers for the Burmese man said he was originally scheduled to be on a flight to Libya, before the plan was abandoned amid media and legal scrutiny. The attorneys also said that the man, identified as N.M. in court papers, received notification about the deportation to South Sudan only in English, violating a previous order.

Lawyers battle over Trump admin deporting immigrants to war-torn South Sudan
Immigration attorneys say at least two of their clients were deported to South Sudan. The attorneys say the deportations were in violation of a court order. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A State Department travel advisory warns Americans not to go to the war-torn country. The Trump administration tried to send a group of immigrants to Libya earlier this month, but a judge halted the flight after a judge was told about possible torture or persecution. The attempt to stop or reverse the South Sudan deportations is before the same judge.

Migrants deported to South Sudan in violation of court order, attorneys say
Immigration attorneys allege the Trump administration deported to South Sudan a group of migrants who are not from the war-torn country. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, an appointee of former President Biden, previously ordered the administration to provide certain notice to migrants before removing them to a third country. Tuesday’s filing accuses the administration of violating that injunction. The development comes days after the judge warned the administration that its reported plans to deport a group to Libya would violate his order. It also comes as Murphy is set to hold a Wednesday hearing in the same case on whether to facilitate the return of a Guatemalan man deported to Mexico.

Trump admin ‘blatantly defies’ federal court order barring deportation of migrants to South Sudan, attorneys say
Immigrants’ rights groups accuse the Trump administration of violating a federal judge’s order. The judge ordered the government to stop summarily deporting migrants to countries other than where they are from with little or no due process. Advocates allege that about a dozen members of the migrant class action case were unlawfully deported to South Sudan. They ask the judge to issue an order “reaffirming” that the plaintiffs cannot be removed to a third country unless the government complies with his initial Preliminary Injunction. The government must provide “written notice” to all migrants and their attorneys about the proposed deportation destination, the advocates say, and a “meaningful opportunity’ to express fears that might occur in such countries under the torture convention. But the judge said that an immigrant’s ability to challenge third-country removal must be granted with a minimum 15-day grace period. He said the record clearly showed the government had deported people to countries they have no connection to because officials have admitted as such and argued such policies are aboveboard.
