Overview

• Immigration attorneys claim the Trump administration deported migrants from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan in violation of a federal court injunction.
• Judge Brian E. Murphy's prior ruling requires written notice in a language migrants understand and an opportunity to challenge third-country removals.
• At least one Myanmar national and up to eleven others, including a Vietnamese migrant, were reportedly deported without proper notice or legal recourse.
• South Sudan, currently embroiled in escalating violence and human rights abuses, poses significant safety risks for deported individuals.
• Attorneys have filed for an emergency court order to halt further deportations and secure the return of those already removed.
