The U.S. judge is considering whether to defy the Trump administration after deporting immigrant detainees to South Sudan, and in the latest court ruling, the White House is ignoring court orders.
Boston District Judge Brian Murphy said Wednesday that the government "undoubtedly" violated a previous ruling prohibiting deportation from deportation from countries other than individuals without due process, after a group of people faced criminal convictions, originally provided for South Sudan.
According to the Flightaware website, the flight left Texas on Tuesday and stopped in Ireland, although its current location was not disclosed.
Murphy is the second U.S. judge to accusing the Trump administration of violating court orders, and friction between the White House and the judiciary has intensified as judges block a series of policy measures taken by the administration.
Federal Judge James Boasberg in Washington is considering a temp-detective lawsuit against the government, linked to hundreds of Venezuelan gang members who were sent to the highest security prison in El Salvador, despite orders for such action. The government said it followed Boasberg's ruling.
It is extremely rare to despise government officials. Penalties for crime consent may include fines or jail time.
The Boston case stems from lawsuits filed by non-U.S. citizens facing a deportation order. They challenge government policies to deport individuals to third countries without notice or the opportunity to strike on the basis of potential persecution, torture or death.
Lawyers representing the plaintiffs seek emergency orders on Tuesday to prevent the government from driving detainees to South Sudan so they don’t have the opportunity to apply for protection before boarding.
Murphy ordered the government on Tuesday to "maintain custody and control over South Sudan or any other third country" to ensure that the court believes such evacuation is illegal, the actual feasibility of the return is ensured."
The Ministry of Homeland Security released photos of eight men deported from Vietnam, South Sudan, Laos, Cuba and other countries listing their beliefs.
