Immigrant rights advocates say White House violated court order and ask judge to order nearly a dozen people’s return

Immigrant rights advocates have accused the Trump administration of deporting about a dozen migrants from countries including Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan in violation of a court order, and asked a judge to order their return.

Lawyers for the migrants made the request in a court filing on Tuesday directed to US district judge Brian Murphy, who had barred the Trump administration from swiftly deporting migrants to countries other than their own without first hearing any concerns they had that they might be tortured or persecuted if sent there.

They said they learned that nearly a dozen migrants held at a detention facility in Texas were flown to South Sudan on Tuesday morning. Murphy told a lawyer with the US Department of Justice during a hastily arranged virtual hearing that the potential violation might constitute criminal contempt and he was weighing ordering a plane carrying the migrants to the African country to turn around.

WTAF?

Not even the correct CONTINENT!

What is someone from Burma or Vietnam supposed to do in the middle of Africa?

It’s trite to say at this point, but the cruelty is the point.

Pardon me?

(That's what they will all say after the judge holds them in criminal contempt....)

It's only a potential crime to preemptively defend the presumptively innocent from the probability of Nazis posing as ICE pulling people to place them in purgatory.

Would accepting a pardon expose them to civil law suits?

I'm sure all the people responsible for this will held to account any day now

It’s almost like we should storm the fucking capitol.

I knew this guy didn't know shit about geography, but dude it's not even the same continent.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think it was an accident.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

It definitely wasn’t a specifically targeted selection

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Migration works with and for money. Put people on a plane. Put cash in the same plane for the destination's government.

It's the sad reality, and Europe is looking to do the same.

Got any source for this statement?

God fucking dammit... Thanks for the info, but damn, that's so fucking sad to read.

HOLY FUCK! TRUMP DID SOMETHING EVIL AGAIN!

It sucks that there will be no Nuremberg trials for these Nazis.

WHEN trump is convicted for treason, we need to send him to one of these places.

Why is illegally deported in quotes? It’s what happened.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because it’s a quotation. Quotation marks aren’t just scare quotes, they’re also for quotations.

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Welcome to the internet. 🙂

Honestly it's a generational evolution of grammar I guess. Old meanings giving way to new..

Anyway, just an idle musing.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, and scare quotes are fine, too. But anybody who’s ever read one page of any randomly selected story should understand their primary use.

That said, I’ll never condone using quotation marks for emphasis.

[–] thedruid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Oh God, I hard agree. I just don't let it bother me.

My unreasonable word rage?

I abhor the phrase " these ones". I don't care what anybody says, unless one is referring to a series of objects of some kind ( imaginary or otherwise), called "ones" I should be allowed to fill that offending persons car with pissed off skunks and dead fish
