The Flight That Never Landed: Inside the Sudden
Trump’s Call to Action
Former President Donald Trump demanded the Supreme Court intervene,
claiming the “Radical Left” was creating chaos.
On Truth Social, he wrote, “A federal judge in Boston,
who knows absolutely nothing about the specific threats these individuals pose,
has blocked the deportation of some of the most dangerous criminals on the planet.”
The Court Ruling
Judge Brian Murphy halted the deportation of eight immigrants with violent criminal records to South Sudan.
“These individuals were not given a meaningful chance to object…
That is a serious issue of due process,” Murphy said, citing their lack of notice and opportunity to challenge removal.
Government Pushback
The Justice Department and ICE argued the individuals had received due process and were long deemed deportable.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said,
“This ruling oversteps the boundaries of the judiciary and interferes with the executive branch’s ability to carry out immigration enforcement.”
Ongoing Legal Battle
The deportation remains on hold, with weekly DHS updates required.
Trump warned, “These judges are completely out of control…
This needs to be stopped immediately.”
