White House journalist Caroline Levitte said on Thursday that a trip with eight immigrants left Texas this week, heading to southern Sudan, will now remain in the country of East Africa in Djibouti for a period of two weeks to comply with the court’s order.
During a briefing, Levitte blamed the American provincial court judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts, after a hearing on Wednesday after eight people from Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, Mexico, South Sudan were deported to a third country. Lawyers said that the trip was heading to South Sudan, but the Ministry of Internal Security says it will not confirm.
Murphy said in the hearing that the Trump administration was violating a former judicial order that prevented people from sending them to countries other than their chances to express their fears of torture or persecution, or without an appropriate notice early.
Murphy ordered the provision of individuals with a legal advisor and an opportunity to raise their concerns. He also ordered the deportees to give at least 15 days to reopen immigration procedures and defy their deportation in the event that the government still aims to send it to a third country.
Levitt said Murphy was an attempt to “return these monsters to our country.”
“Judge Murphy is now forcing federal officials to stay in Djibouti for more than two weeks that threatens our American diplomatic relations with countries around the world and endangers the life of agents by having to be with these illegal killers, criminals and rape,” Levit said.
Levitte, who mentioned the names and criminal records of the eight persons on the trip, called on Murphy to “a huge judicial transcendence.”
“He cannot control foreign policy or national security of the United States of America, and he suggested that it is completely ridiculous,” she said.
Murphy transmitted the sequence of events that led to the deportations, saying that the immigrants had been notified of their “time in the evening” on Monday, outside the working hours. He added that they left the enforcement and customs enforcement facility on its way to a nearby airport the next morning at 9:35 clips.
The judge said that without enough time to consult with a lawyer or family members, it was impossible for immigrants to challenge their deportation to a third country.
Murphy said: “The actions of the ministry,” There is no doubt that the matter of this court. “
