Judge briefly blocks immigrants’ deportation to South Sudan after Supreme Court cleared the way

  • Following a Fourth of July hearing in Washington, a federal judge temporarily stopped the removal of eight immigrants destined for conflict-ridden South Sudan and transferred the case to a judge in Boston.
  • The Supreme Court had greenlighted the immigrants' removal the day before, but new claims by their lawyers prompted Judge Randolph Moss to pause the transfers temporarily.
  • The administration had been trying to deport immigrants from Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Vietnam, and other countries to South Sudan despite none being South Sudanese, and the U.S. government warns against travel there due to civil war.
  • Judge Moss temporarily prevented the administration from relocating the immigrants from Djibouti until his 4:30 p.m. hearing took place, stating that their new legal claims warranted consideration; the administration intended to proceed with their flight on Friday.
  • This temporary halt and case reassignment suggest ongoing judicial scrutiny over deportations to a dangerous region, reflecting legal tensions despite the Supreme Court's approval of removal.
