Immigration lawyers told a federal judge on Tuesday that they had received information indicating that the US government may have placed migrants from countries such as Myanmar and Vietnam on a deportation trip to South Sudan, which is the East Africa State I was afflicted with conflict Political instability.
in Emergency file To the Federal Provincial Court in Massachusetts, lawyers said that the reported deportation trip to South Sudan would directly violate the ruling issued by the American boycott judge, Brian Murphy, who prevented the Trump administration from deporting migrants to third countries without granting them certain rights in legal procedures.
Lawyers said that any immigrant that has been deported to South Sudan “is facing a strong possibility to inform the repaired harm,” noting reports documenting broad violence, violations of human rights and conflict in the non -coastal African country, and the smallest nation in the world.
Soon after its independence in 2011, South Sudan carried a bloody civil war – fears of a new conflict have emerged recently. The US State Department has A Level 4 Travel Convisory For southern Sudan, the Americans warn against traveling there because of “crime, kidnapping and armed conflict.”
The emergency movement asked Murphy to prohibit the deportation of the third countries to southern Sudan, and asked the return of those who were deported there, if the removals had already occurred.
Late on Tuesday, Murphy ordered the Trump administration to “maintain custody and control” to migrants sent to South Sudan or another third country, to ensure that they can return to the United States if they find that their deportation is illegal. Government lawyers ordered that they be ready to provide specific information during a hearing scheduled on Wednesday, including the names of the deportees and details about the level of legal procedures they received.
The United States government has publicly not publicly confirmed the deportation of immigrants who are not from South Sudan to that country. Representatives of the Ministry of Internal Security did not immediately respond to the suspension requests.
The Trump administration was escalating An aggressive diplomacy campaign To persuade countries all over the world to accept immigrants who are not citizens, approaching remote countries such as Libya and Rwanda to take the deportees in the third country. He has already deported African and Asian immigrants to Costa Rica and Panama, and Venezuelan deportees To El Salvador.
Earlier this month, CBS News and other ports I mentioned The administration has developed plans to send immigrants to Libya, but this trip was never achieved as soon as these reports appear.
In April, Murphy, a federal judge in Massachusetts, prevented the government from deporting immigrants to the third countries, unless they were first offered to them and their lawyers a notice and an opportunity to deport.
In their file on Tuesday, a group of immigration lawyers said that the government had violated this matter in the case of two immigrants from Myanmar and Vietnam.
E -mails submitted by lawyers show that a man’s lawyer from Myanmar was sent on Monday indicating that his client was told that he would be deported to South Africa. The lawyer was then sent another email, indicating that his client was already facing deportation to southern Sudan, as emails appear.
On Tuesday morning, another lawyer who helped a man from Myanmar via email to the Immigration Center in Los Fressan, Texas, was detained, and asked about his whereabouts. She was told that her client was deported in the morning. When I asked where, I received an email saying, “South Sudan.”
Lawyers said they also received an email from a woman who said she believed that her husband, a man from Vietnam, had been deported to southern Sudan, along with other immigrant detainees held in the Los Fressus detention facility.
