US immigration authorities appear to have begun deporting migrants to South Sudan, attorneys say

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, attorneys for the migrants said in court documents.

Immigration authorities may have sent up to a dozen people from several countries to Africa, they told a judge.

Those removals would violate a court order saying people must get a “meaningful opportunity” to argue that sending them to a country outside their homeland would threaten their safety, attorneys said.

The apparent removal of one man from Myanmar was confirmed in an email from an immigration official in Texas, according to court documents. He was informed only in English, a language he does not speak well, and his attorneys learned of the plan hours before his deportation flight, they said.

They just never give up. Judges need to be holding these bastards in contempt for ignoring their rulings, and actually putting people in jail. tRump and his yes-men have made it very clear that they don't respect the rule of law, and sending people to South Sudan is as good as a death sentence.

It is illegal to deport people to a country that is not their homeland. Flatly illegal!

I actually wondered if there were more than just a few evil people in the world. There appear to be a whole lot of horrifically evil people just in our country.

Is there anything that can stop him? One of the individuals is the same they tried to deport to Libya. What's our agreement with Vietnam? Why Africa instead?
