A federal judge criticized the Trump administration for violating a court order about deportations to South Sudan, stating that deported immigrants were not given a fair chance to contest their removal. Judge Brian E. Murphy emphasized that the eight migrants were forcibly sent back without adequate notice or legal representation. The ruling follows the Trump administration's insistence that these individuals posed a national security threat, yet it sparked further debate on judicial authority and immigration policy. The administration's actions drew heightened scrutiny amid allegations of misleading interpretations of the court's directives.
The department actions in this case are unquestionably in violation of this court's order, as deportees didn’t receive a meaningful opportunity to object to the danger of their deportation.
Minutes before the hearing, administration officials accused 'activist judges' of advocating for the release of dangerous criminals while defending their actions in deportation.
Government attorneys argued that the men had a history with the immigration system and prior opportunities to express fear of deportation to a country outside their homeland.
The group was flown out of the United States just hours after getting notice, leaving them no chance to contact lawyers to object in court.
