The U.S. District Court’s Case against Deportation of Black Holes to Second-Caribbean Countries: A Local Judge’s Perspective

Judge Brian Murphy of the United States District Court in Massachusetts said on Wednesday that the Trump administration was in violation of his injunction that prevents deportation to countries other than their own without a chance to challenge their deportation order. They must also be given notice in their native language.

The situation of people sent on the plane is proof that it’s impossible to object to deportations when you only have a few hours to do so, according to Murphy, the federal judge.

“The department’s actions in this case are unquestionably violative of this court’s order. Murphy said to the degree that violate implicates criminal obstruction is a question that needs to be answered for another day. “Based on what I have learned, I don’t see how anybody could say that these individuals had a meaningful opportunity to object.”

The court hearing in Boston on Wednesday saw the federal judge grappling with their fate while at least seven men remained aboard the plane somewhere abroad.

The Trump administration decided to send migrants to countries other than their own following a legal challenge. It wanted to use third-country destinations to take away individuals who can’t be sent back to their home countries.

Todd Lyons, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said that people on the flight out of the U.S. had been convicted of crimes and were not able to return to their countries of origin.

The Department of Homeland Security has located a nation who is willing to give up their vicious illegal aliens, says an assistant secretary. “Now, a local judge in Massachusetts is trying to force the United States to bring back these uniquely barbaric monsters who present a clear and present threat to the safety of the American people and American victims.”

An emergency motion was submitted by immigration lawyers on Tuesday stating that their client was given little notice before being put on a plane to South Sudan, one of the most politically unstable countries in the world.

Jonathan Ryan, a lawyer with the legal nonprofit Advokato, told NPR that what is striking is the complete lack of information the group is working with. Ryan does not know the full name or criminal history of his client and only knows that he is known as “N.M.”

They spoke briefly on May 16, but N.M. does not speak English. Ryan was told his client had been moved further away after he began looking for an interpreter. In a second phone call, despite background noise and his client’s broken English, he was able to discern that his client had been given paperwork, which he’d refused to sign.

By Monday afternoon, Ryan was perplexed when he received an email from ICE saying his client was being sent to South Africa. The client was going to South Sudan when he got another notification from ICE.

Government officials in a late-Tuesday hearing said that ultimately N.M. was being sent to Burma, even after being notified he was being sent to two other countries first.

I’d like to speak with my client. Ryan wants him to tell him that he is in Asia. “Because I don’t know. As far as I’m concerned, he’s sitting in South Sudan with a guard potentially of the United States, potentially of South Sudan, hovering over him, telling him to tell me that he is in Burma. We don’t know what’s happening.

Government lawyers at Wednesday’s court hearing said people sent on the flight could have expressed fear of being sent to another country before they were loaded on the plane, but didn’t.

“We believe the individuals had an opportunity” to protest their deportations, said Elianis Perez, an immigration lawyer at the Justice Department. “But I think any misunderstanding may have had to do with the fact that the court’s preliminary injunction wasn’t specific enough.”

The government believes they did the right thing by complying with my order since they don’t know any people who were afraid to go to South Sudan. Murphy said that it was insufficient during Wednesday’s hearing.

He said that he was going to clarify his initial preliminary injunction to explain how much notice is needed, and that men in this case only got 17 hours of notice. The lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that 30 days was enough notice, while the DOJ said that only 24 hours was enough.

Murphy had earlier ordered the Department of Homeland Security to keep custody of migrants sent to South Sudan, or any third country, until he can verify they received proper due process.

Lawyers for the men asked that they be brought back to the U.S., but Drew Ensign, a Department of Justice attorney, asked that DHS officials be allowed to interview them about their fear of persecution of being sent to another country while they remain in U.S. custody abroad.

The State Department couldn’t immediately say where the plane full of migrants was sent or where they ended up.

The spokesman denied that any flights of deportees would arrive on Wednesday. He said any non-South Sudanese migrants arriving in the country would be re-deported to their correct country of origin.

South Sudan is not the first country to voice an opposition to being a so-called third country. Earlier this month, Libyan officials also rejected reports that they would take in deportees from the U.S. if they were not Libyan nationals.

U.S. Immigration Tip Line: Donald Trump Deports Many Misdemeanors to Other Countries and Undermining American Diplomacy and National Security

If you have an immigration tip, we’d love to hear from you via the tip line or the reporters.

Questions about U.S. authority over migrants deported to other countries have arisen in several other high-profile immigration cases, raising questions about the limits of judicial authority.

Murphy said that he did not rule out holding the Trump administration to be in contempt of court, but would leave it for a later time.

The Government must now give the deportees what’s known as “reasonable fear” interviews, in order to assess whether they are entitled to stay in the U.S. due to risk of persecution or torture in the country they are being sent to. They must have at least two weeks to contest their deportation if they express fear.

The deported immigrants are being allowed to stay in Djibouti for two weeks, according to the White House press secretary. Murphy undermined the U. S. diplomatic relationships and national security according to her. “Judge Murphy is forcing federal officials to remain in Djibouti for over two weeks threatening our U.S. diplomatic relationships with countries around the world and putting the agents’ lives in danger by having to be with these illegal murderers, criminals and rapists.”

The White House considers the migrants to be violent criminals. The men were convicted of many crimes, including murder, sexual assault, kidnapping and robbery.

The White House has announced that a flight with eight immigrants which was reportedly heading to South Sudan will instead remain in the East African country of Djibouti for at least two weeks, in order to comply with a federal court order.
