US court: Trump administration violated court order on deportations
2025-05-22 12:21:06 / BOTA
A US judge is considering whether to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court after deporting migrant detainees to South Sudan, in the latest court finding that the White House is ignoring court orders.
Brian Murphy, a district judge in Boston, said Wednesday that the government “clearly” violated a previous ruling prohibiting deportations to countries other than individuals’ countries of origin without due process, after a group of men facing deportation orders following criminal convictions were put on a plane originally bound for South Sudan.
The flight departed Texas on Tuesday and stopped in Ireland, according to the website FlightAware, although its current location was not disclosed.
Murphy is the second US judge to accuse the Trump administration of violating court orders related to deportations, intensifying friction between the White House and the judiciary as the judges block a series of policy measures pursued by the government.
James Boasberg, a federal judge in Washington, is considering filing contempt of court proceedings against the government over hundreds of suspected Venezuelan gang members who were flown to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador despite orders prohibiting such action.
The government has said it has followed Boasberg's decisions.
Holding government officials in contempt of court is extremely rare. Penalties for criminal contempt can include fines or imprisonment.
The case in Boston stems from a lawsuit filed by non-US citizens facing deportation orders.
They challenged the government's policy of deporting individuals to a third country without giving them notice or giving them the opportunity to fight the removals, on the grounds of persecution, torture or possible death.
Lawyers representing the plaintiffs sought an emergency injunction on Tuesday to stop the administration from transporting the detainees to South Sudan, arguing that they were not given the opportunity to apply for protection before boarding the flight.
Murphy on Tuesday ordered the government to “maintain custody and control” of individuals deported to South Sudan or any other third country “to ensure the practical feasibility of return if the Court finds that such deportations were unlawful.”
The Department of Homeland Security released photos of eight men undergoing deportation proceedings from Vietnam, South Sudan, Laos, Cuba and other countries, listing their sentences.
“It is absurd that an activist judge is trying to force the United States to turn back people that DHS described in a statement as “unique barbaric monsters who pose a… threat to the security of the American people.”
