US District Court Judge Brian Murphy criticized the Trump administration's reported deportations of migrants to South Sudan, stating it may defy a prior court ruling. During a Boston hearing, he questioned the government's attorneys about the migrants' flight details, hinting at the possibility of holding the administration in contempt. Despite concerns over human rights violations in South Sudan, the administration had sought international options for deporting undocumented immigrants. Judge Murphy's injunction mandated that migrants be allowed to appeal before deportation to any third-party countries, emphasizing their right to a fair process.
Judge Brian Murphy indicated the Trump administration's actions to deport migrants to South Sudan may be contempt. He expressed concerns that this action violates his previous court order.
In a recent annual report, the US Department of State accused South Sudan of significant human rights issues, including torture and extrajudicial killings, complicating the administration's deportation efforts.
Judge Murphy stated that the flight to South Sudan appeared to violate a preliminary injunction he issued, which prohibited deportations to countries not of the migrants' origin without giving them a fair appeal.
The Trump administration's response claimed that deportation details were classified, and they did not believe they were violating the court's order, despite Judge Murphy's serious concerns.
