U.S. Judge Suggests Deportations to South Sudan May Have Violated Court Order

A U.S. judge, Brian Murphy, rebuked the Trump administration for deporting migrants to South Sudan, potentially violating his court order banning such removals without proper legal review. The migrants, including individuals from Myanmar and Vietnam, were reportedly flown out without due process or translation assistance. Murphy cited the Fifth Amendment and warned of possible contempt. The Department of Homeland Security refused to disclose the flight's location, calling it "classified." The deportations raised alarm as South Sudan faces severe human rights abuses. Lawyers filed an emergency motion, urging immediate court intervention and claiming the deportations happened abruptly and without consent.
