This article discusses a recent incident involving federal judge Brian E. Murphy, who strongly criticized the Trump administration for attempting to deport migrants to South Sudan, in violation of his court order. The administration's actions have been described as evasive and irresponsible, leading Murphy to suggest possible contempt charges against officials. Meanwhile, House Republicans passed a bill aiming to reduce judges' powers to enforce such orders, indicating a push to limit judicial oversight in immigration matters. This situation highlights ongoing tensions between the judiciary and the executive branch regarding immigration policy enforcement.
Murphy also raised the prospect of holding officials in contempt for defying his orders.
The Trump administration tried to deport about half a dozen immigrants to South Sudan, a country so riven by a violent civil war that the U.S. government has warned travelers not to even step foot there.
