Judge says South Sudan deportation flight ‘unquestionably’ violated his order

  • On Wednesday, Boston-based Judge Brian E. Murphy ruled that a Trump administration flight deporting eight migrants violated his court order by removing them without due process, possibly to South Sudan.
  • Murphy’s order, issued one day earlier, required migrants deported to third countries receive notice and a meaningful chance to object, conditions not met in this case according to the judge.
  • The eight migrants, convicted of serious crimes including murder and armed robbery, were flown out hours after notice and lacked opportunities to contact lawyers or contest removal to potentially dangerous nations.
  • ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons said the migrants' home countries refused them, necessitating deportation to safe third countries to remove public safety threats, while DHS claimed due process occurred and refused to confirm final destinations.
  • The ruling highlights tensions between immigration enforcement and judicial oversight, signaling ongoing legal disputes over deportations to third countries amid concerns for migrants' safety and constitutional rights.
