Trump Administration Deports Asian Migrants to South Sudan Despite Court Order

Attorneys representing migrants from Myanmar and Vietnam have accused the Trump administration of illegally deporting at least a dozen individuals to South Sudan, violating a federal court order that mandates migrants be given a meaningful opportunity to challenge their removal to third countries. The migrants, some of whom do not speak English fluently, were reportedly not given proper notice or a chance to contest their deportations, raising concerns about the administration's compliance with legal safeguards. US District Judge Brian Murphy, who had previously barred such deportations without written notice and the opportunity to object, expressed serious concern and suggested the actions may constitute contempt of court. The deportations have intensified tensions between the judiciary and the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies. Attorneys have petitioned the court for an emergency order to return the deported migrants and to prevent further violations. The Department of Homeland Security and the White House have yet to comment on the allegations.
