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

  • A federal judge in Boston found that the Trump administration failed to provide due process before deporting eight migrants on a flight connected to South Sudan, thereby violating a court order.
  • The migrants were flown out just hours after receiving notice and had no opportunity to consult lawyers or object in court, despite a March order requiring at least 15 days' notice and a chance to argue danger outside their homelands.
  • The eight migrants deported were originally from several countries, including Cuba, Vietnam, Mexico, Myanmar, Laos, and South Sudan. They had been convicted of serious offenses such as murder and armed robbery but remained in the U.S. Because their countries of origin declined to readmit them.
  • Judge Murphy described the deportation as an "unquestionable" court order violation due to lack of meaningful objection opportunity, while ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons called the deportees "true national security threats."
  • The court ordered new interviews with the migrants to assess their claims of danger, highlighting tensions between immigration enforcement policies and judicial oversight amid a broad Republican crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
