Attorneys filed an emergency motion alleging that the Trump administration deported Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan, violating a court order. At least a dozen migrants were deported this week without proper notice or opportunity to contest, according to the motion. One attorney described her client, a Burmese national with limited English, being deported without an interpreter. The attorneys argue this violates a previous court order by Judge Brian Murphy that blocked deportations to third countries without proper notice. They're seeking the migrants' return and a halt to further such deportations to countries like South Sudan, which is currently facing civil war.
