Trump Administration Accused of Illegal Deportations to South Sudan

8

The Trump administration faces legal scrutiny after allegedly deporting 11 migrants from countries like Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan, defying a federal court order. Judge Brian Murphy had previously barred such deportations without assessing potential risks of torture or persecution. Despite this, reports indicate that migrants detained in Texas were flown to South Sudan, prompting Murphy to consider criminal contempt charges against officials involved. He also stated that he was considering ordering the plane transporting the migrants to return. This incident highlights growing concerns over the administration’s immigration policies and adherence to legal protocols.
