Judge Accuses Trump Administration of Manufacturing Deportation Chaos | JQJO

A federal judge accused the Trump administration of "manufacturing" chaos in its handling of migrant deportations to South Sudan. Judge Brian Murphy criticized the administration's lack of transparency and logistical difficulties in conducting deportation hearings abroad. He granted the government the option of holding hearings in Djibouti, but highlighted the administration's own suggestion to process claims overseas. The judge emphasized the migrants' limited opportunity to contest their deportation, citing insufficient time to contact legal counsel and family before being sent to South Sudan. The administration argued the migrants posed national security threats and had previous immigration issues.
