Reuters: Trump administration has violated a court order and deported immigrants to South Sudan

[Anonymous]

Reuters - Immigrant rights advocates accused the Trump administration on Tuesday of deporting around a dozen migrants from countries including Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan in violation of a court order and asked a judge to order their return.

The advocates made the request in a motion directed to a federal judge in Boston who had barred the Trump administration from swiftly deporting migrants to countries other than their own without first hearing any concerns they had that they might be tortured or persecuted if sent there.”

If those representing these people in court are correct, this would violate the Supreme Court’s specific instructions from last week as well as the lower court’s order.

Also, South Sudan in in the midst of a brutal civil war, with resulting severe food insecurity, as well as environmental disasters including widespread flooding.

ok, so Trump's admin violated another court order. What are the courts going to do about it? Nothing.

This is not an Alien Enemies Act renewal, so the Supreme Court's ruling is irrelevant.

Did they fine them $500 a day like that illegal immigrant in Florida?

As someone who used to live in South Sudan- this has got to be the most absurd thing yet. Where are the South Sudanese going to put them? I used to visit a prison there - they basically targeted our NGO staff because they knew they had money so when they were in prison we had to take them food, often took food from 1/2 the prisoners because it was so bad.

This is utter insanity. South Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world and in the middle of civil strife. How much is the US paying them to take these people?

Maybe we should stop using the term deportation. Deportation means shipping people back to their country of origin, which makes sense. Sending Asians to South Sudan? That’s just human trafficking.

Yes. Human trafficking. 100%.

What is the correct word when US citizens are sent and off to another country? I can't be deported somewhere because I am not from anywhere else. If the US sends me to South Sudan, what is that called?
