Federal Judge Halts Trump Administration Deportations of Migrants to War-Torn South Sudan
Federal judge halts Trump administration deportation of eight migrants to South Sudan, the latest case testing the legality of the Trump administration's push to send immigrants back to their home countries.
A federal judge has halted the deportation of eight migrants to South Sudan by the Trump administration, in a case that tests the legality of their efforts to send undocumented immigrants abroad. The decision comes as part of a broader push by the Trump administration to expel non-citizens who entered the US without authorization. The migrant group, from Eritrea and Ethiopia, was set to be flown back to their home country on Friday but will instead remain in detention pending further court proceedings. The ruling is the latest example of judicial challenges to the Trump administration's deportation policies.
