According to reports, eight immigrants deported from Texas this week for South Sudan, a federal judge ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration violated previous orders.

Massachusetts District Court Judge Brian Murphy said at the hearing that the Trump administration failed to comply with his previous ban to prevent individuals from being sent to countries other than themselves without giving them a chance to fear of persecution or torture. It was released in March.

The Ministry of Homeland Security confirmed that eight people from Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, Mexico and South Sudan were deported this week, confirmed in a press conference Wednesday morning. All are criminally convicted of violence.

"The department's actions on this issue are undoubtedly a violation of the court's order," Murphy told the court.

Government lawyers say the immigrants are still in custody on ice and the plane has since landed. They refused to share the location of the plane's final destination.

The State Department Travel Advisory Council warned Americans not to go to South Sudan “due to crime, kidnapping and armed conflict” and noted that due to the circumstances, the department “ordered the departure of U.S. government employees from South Sudan.”

Murphy, who briefed the court on a series of incidents that led to a conversation with a government lawyer after deportation, said the men received notice of their destination “one night” on Monday, outside business hours. He added that the next morning they left the rink, “before the earliest 10 a.m. and the earliest 9 a.m..”

The judge said it would be "impossible" for those who "meaningfully object" to deport them without sufficient time to consult a lawyer or family member.

After immigration lawyers told Murphy that the hearing was held, at least two of their clients from Myanmar and Vietnam were deported back to South Sudan.

South Sudan may head to another civil war. The 2018 power-sharing agreement between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar ended the five-year civil war. But earlier this year, violent clashes between factions intensified again.

Earlier this month, Murphy blocked the Trump administration's attempt to deport individuals from countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam and Laos to Libya. Murphy then reiterated the ban on third-country deportation for an emergency motion by immigration lawyers.
