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

  • A federal judge presiding in Boston ruled on Wednesday that eight migrants deported on a flight connected to South Sudan were removed without being given a proper chance to contest the decision legally.
  • This occurred despite Murphy’s recent order requiring the Trump administration to maintain custody and allow migrants a chance to argue deportation risks, highlighting a violation of due process.
  • The migrants included convicted violent offenders from multiple countries whose home nations refused repatriation, forcing ICE to seek third countries to remove these individuals deemed public safety threats.
  • Judge Murphy emphasized that the actions taken by the department clearly violated the court’s order, while Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons described the individuals involved as genuine threats to national security.
  • The ruling suggests potential criminal contempt consequences and underscores ongoing tensions over immigration enforcement amid concerns that deportations to unstable countries like South Sudan may endanger migrants.
