Federal Judge Blasts Trump Admin over Deportees in South Sudan
- Federal Judge Brian Murphy issued a scathing 17-page order on Monday addressing Trump administration deportations of eight migrants to South Sudan from the U.S.
- The case arose after immigration advocates challenged the administration’s practice of sending migrants to third countries without meaningful chances to contest their removal.
- Murphy emphasized the men were informed of their deportation less than 16 hours prior, mostly during non-waking hours, with limited ability to contact family or lawyers and no real opportunity to assert fear of harm.
- He noted that although the government proposed handling the claims while the men were still overseas, logistical challenges made this difficult, and concluded that the defendants seemed to foster ambiguity deliberately to avoid accountability.
- Murphy ordered the government to maintain custody while ensuring feasibility of return hearings, highlighting due process applies despite migrants’ criminal histories and raising concerns the administration manufactured chaos.
