President Donald Trump's attempt to transfer immigrants to South Sudan was "unquestionably violative" of a judicial order not to deport migrants to countries other than their own without opportunity to contest their deportations, a U.S. judge said on Wednesday.
Boston-based U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy made the finding during a hearing one day after he ordered the administration not to let a group of migrants being flown to South Sudan to leave the custody of U.S. immigration authorities. The judge said the migrants appeared to have been deported in violation of his previous order.
