After reports that a deportation trip with eight immigrants left Texas to South Sudan this week, a federal judge spent on Wednesday that the Trump administration had previously had a matter.
Local court judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts said during the hearing that the Trump administration had failed to commit to its previous issuance to prevent individuals from sending them to a country other than giving them an opportunity for persecution or torture concerns. It was released in March.
This comes after the Ministry of Internal Security confirmed during a press conference on Wednesday morning that eight individuals from Myanmar, Los, Vietnam, Cuba, Mexico and South Sudan were deported this week. They all have violent criminal condemnation.
“The administration’s actions in this question undoubtedly violate this court,” Murphy told the court.
Government lawyers said that the immigrants are still in the ice custody, and that the plane had landed since then. They refused to share the final destination site.
A consultant traveling to the US State Department warns of going to South Sudan “due to crime, kidnapping and armed conflict” and it is noted that in March, due to the situation there, the administration ordered “the departure of US government employees from South Sudan.”
Murphy, who briefed the court on the sequence of the events that led to the deportation after speaking with government lawyers from the public ears, said that individuals were notified of their destination “at some point in the evening” on Monday, outside the working hours. He added that they left the ice facility the next morning, “At the latest at 10 am and as soon as possible before nine in the morning.”
Without enough time to consult with a lawyer or family members, the judge said it is “impossible” to these individuals to “have a useful opportunity to object” to their deportation to a third country.
The session comes after immigration lawyers Murphy told that at least two of their customers, from Myanmar and Vietnam, had been deported on Tuesday morning to southern Sudan.
It can be the South Sudan I went to another civil war. The 2018 power -sharing agreement ended between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Rick Mashr, five years of the civil war. But earlier this year, violent clashes between the factions increased again.
Earlier this month, Murphy prevented the Trump administration’s attempt to deport individuals from countries including the Philippines, Vietnam and Laos to Libya. After that, Murphy reaffirmed the matter of deporting the third country in response to the emergency state of immigrant attorneys.
