Judge orders US to maintain custody of migrants possibly sent to Africa, says US violated his order
Briefly

A federal judge has ordered the U.S. government to maintain custody of migrants it has sent to third countries, as the administration violated a prior injunction. Judge Brian E. Murphy found that the government failed to provide meaningful notice before deporting individuals to undisclosed nations, potentially including South Sudan. His ruling highlights significant legal concerns regarding due process and further emphasizes the contentious nature of the Trump administration's deportation policies. Hearings are scheduled to address possible contempt proceedings against the government for these actions.
U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy declared that the Trump administration 'unquestionably' violated his preliminary injunction by removing migrants without meaningful notice.
The judge's order to the Department of Homeland Security mandates that they maintain custody of migrants who were deported to third countries, protecting due process.
