US EditionJudge says South Sudan deportation flight ‘unquestionably’ violated his order
- A federal judge in Boston found that the Trump administration unlawfully removed at least six individuals to South Sudan on short notice, violating a court order that required providing these migrants a chance to contest their deportation.
- This decision came after a lawsuit filed in March challenged the administration’s practice of deporting migrants to countries other than their own without providing sufficient advance warning or a fair chance to contest their forced removal.
- The deported migrants received roughly 24 hours' notice before removal, and none were allowed to assert claims under the UN Convention Against Torture despite State Department warnings about risks in South Sudan.
- Judge Brian Murphy criticized the notice period as clearly inadequate and cautioned that this breach might result in criminal contempt, constituting a notably severe judicial response to the administration’s deportation practices so far.
- The order emphasized maintaining custody of the migrants and suggests the administration must allow adequate notice and chance to object before removal, potentially affecting future deportation practices.
