A federal judge in Boston ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration violated a court order by deporting eight migrants—none of them South Sudanese—to the war-torn African nation of South Sudan without proper legal notice or opportunity to object. Judge Brian E. Murphy said the move directly defied his order requiring a “meaningful opportunity” for migrants to raise safety concerns about third-country deportations.
Immigration officials confirmed that the migrants were flown out hours after being notified, leaving no time for legal intervention. The Department of Homeland Security refused to disclose the final destination, citing security reasons, but South Sudanese officials said no such arrivals had occurred.
The administration defended the deportations, citing national security and the migrants’ criminal histories. Officials accused “activist judges” of interfering with enforcement priorities.
Immigrant rights groups condemned the transfer as illegal and dangerous, especially given South Sudan’s spiraling violence and human rights abuses. The deportation comes amid broader legal battles over the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration tactics and efforts to bypass traditional judicial oversight.
