💨 Abstract

A federal judge criticized the Trump administration for allegedly creating chaos in an attempt to sidestep judicial orders regarding deportations of asylum seekers to South Sudan. Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts denied a request to reconsider a previous ruling that granted deported individuals more hearings. The judge acknowledged the logistical difficulties of conducting hearings abroad but accused the administration of deliberately fostered confusion to evade judicial decisions. The judge is considering sanctions for contempt of court against administration officials.
