Trump officials deported Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan, say lawyers
Briefly

Immigrant rights advocates are challenging the Trump administration's deportation of a dozen migrants, including individuals from Myanmar and Vietnam, to South Sudan despite a federal court order barring such actions. The court order protects migrants from being sent to countries where they fear torture or persecution without proper hearings. Lawyers revealed that these individuals, held at a Texas detention facility, were deported recently, prompting a motion for their return. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to inquiries about this situation.
