US must keep control of migrants sent to South Sudan in case removals were unlawful, judge rules

  • On May 20, 2025, a federal judge in Massachusetts ordered that authorities must continue to hold migrants who appear to have been deported to South Sudan or other third countries to allow for the possibility of their return if the removals are later deemed unlawful.
  • The emergency ruling came after attorneys alleged that the Trump administration had started deporting migrants from Myanmar and Vietnam to Africa without providing the required safety hearings, in violation of a court directive.
  • Attorneys confirmed one man's removal from Myanmar via an official email and said up to a dozen migrants, including a Vietnamese man, were flown to Africa on May 20, 2025.
  • Judge Murphy stated officials must keep control to ensure possible returns if removals prove unlawful and emphasized migrants must receive a "meaningful opportunity" to argue safety risks.
  • The ruling suggests serious implications given South Sudan's ongoing violence and human rights challenges documented by U.S. And U.N. Reports, underscoring risks migrants face if removed there.
