US must keep control of migrants sent to South Sudan in case removals were unlawful, judge rules

Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that U.S. officials must retain custody and control of migrants apparently removed to South Sudan in case he orders their removals were unlawful.

U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy in Massachusetts issued the ruling late Tuesday after an emergency hearing, after attorneys for immigrants said the Trump administration appears to have begun deporting people from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan — despite a court order restricting removals to other countries.

Murphy said the government must “maintain custody and control of class members currently being removed to South Sudan or to any other third country, to ensure the practical feasibility of return if the Court finds that such removals were unlawful.”

While Murphy left the details to the government’s discretion, he said he expects the migrants “will be treated humanely.”

And if the deportees are in South Sudan (which South Sudan denies), the authorities there vow to deport them to Asia.

This isn't just about sending deportees to Africa, it is sending them to the most dangerously unstable countries in the world.

They seem to think they're above the law and democracy at this point.

of whether they sit in a cell in Sudan supposedly under the control of the US. Crumb The 1st and his band of poor excuses for human beings defied the order when they left US airspace. So now the judge says he's ordering the US to maintain control of them? A pure load of BS because they won't comply and they've demonstrated over and over that they will not comply with court orders. They haven't complied with the Supreme Court for heaven's sake so what makes this or any other judge think they will comply with another order?

They fear nothing because there are no findings of contempt and jailed officials and lawyers. The pattern for this with Crumb The 1st was laid long ago when the various courts failed to come down with contempt findings and harsh penalties for his violations regarding his conduct in his various court cases. A judge somewhere at some point needs to come down hard and immediately and not give them more and more time over and over. Violation of an order by these sub-humans should bring a contempt hearing on the spot and an immediate ruling. How many dozens of examples of willful violations and disingenuous conduct in filings, argument in court and failure to produce required documents do these judges need?
