💨 Abstract

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to keep migrants being flown to South Sudan in U.S. custody, suggesting officials might face criminal contempt for seemingly violating a court order. The judge, Brian Murphy, highlighted that nearly a dozen migrants from various countries were deemed to be deported, potentially in unsafe conditions. He emphasized that officials could comply with his order in various ways, such as keeping the plane on the tarmac.
