US EditionJudge says South Sudan deportation flight ‘unquestionably’ violated his order
- On May 21, U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy found that the government had breached a court injunction by removing eight migrants to South Sudan without giving them proper legal notice or a chance to challenge the deportation.
- The deportation happened despite Murphy's March order requiring migrants to have a meaningful chance to object to third-country removals if they face danger, which was ignored in this case.
- The migrants, who had been found guilty of serious offenses in the U.S. and came from countries such as Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam, were given less than a day’s notice and were denied access to legal counsel or language assistance before being deported.
- Judge Murphy warned about potential criminal contempt and mandated new private interviews offering legal counsel and proper notice, while ICE acting director Todd Lyons called the migrants 'true national security threats.'
- South Sudanese officials denied any arrivals and stated migrants would be investigated and sent elsewhere if not South Sudanese, reflecting uncertainty about the migrants' fate amid South Sudan’s ongoing violence and fragile governance.
