WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge suggested the Trump administration was “manufacturing” chaos and said he hoped that “reason can get the better of rhetoric” in a scathing order in a case about government efforts to deport a handful of migrants from various countries to South Sudan.
In the order published Monday evening, Judge Brian Murphy wrote that he had given the Trump administration “remarkable flexibility with minimal oversight” in the case and emphasized the numerous times he attempted to work with the government.
“From the course of conduct, it is hard to come to any conclusion other than that Defendants invite a lack of clarity as a means of evasion,” the Boston-based Murphy wrote in the 17-page order.
Murphy oversees a case in which immigration advocates are attempting to prevent the Trump administration from sending migrants they’re trying to deport from the U.S. to countries that they’re not from without giving them a meaningful chance to protest their removal.
In a hearing last week called to address reports that eight immigrants had been sent to South Sudan, Murphy said the men hadn’t been able to argue that the deportation could put them in danger.
But instead of ordering the government to return the men to the U.S. for hearings — as the plaintiffs wanted — he gave the government the option of holding the hearings in Djibouti where the plane had flown on its way to South Sudan as long as the men remained in U.S. government custody. Days later, the Trump administration filed another motion saying that Murphy was requiring them to hold “dangerous criminals in a sensitive location.”
But in his order Monday he emphasized repeatedly that it was the government’s “own suggestion” that they be...

Pot-Kettle, your Honor!
Defense rests.
Pretty sure it was the corrupt and treasonist BIDEN Administration that did that, YOU CORRUPT AND TREASONIST “judge”...
Judge thinks like a social worker.
This judge is the one creating chaos. Ignore the SOB.
This judge is the one creating chaos. Ignore the SOB.
The American people democrats, independents and conservatives are beginning to see this as you see it. Unfortunately we have been vindicated = somebody else other than the elected President was running the country, signing EO, signing bills, semding so much $$$ to Ukraine, death and destruction, judges appointed and it was done by someone unelected.
Amercians are seeing this corruption being exposed
From one of the judges that’s causing all the Chaos
Government to return the men to the U.S. for hearings.
BS if they were allowed here legally they would be it’s why they sneak in criminals in action.
The judges playing with laws to play into the hands of the democrats for filtering the laws.
If you missed it, there was a great briefing by Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS Spokesperson six days ago. It's worth watching to hear what she has to say.
What we know about migrants facing deportations to South Sudan. This is a CBS News story, so the only part worth watching Ms. McLaughlin. She pulls no punches -- another Caroline Leavitt.
It's actions like these deportations and the excellent briefings by President Trump's team that sent the "Is USA on the right track" poll results over 50%. That's the first time in the history of that poll!
Who judges the judges???
Why are these nasty extra-judicial political activist judges not removed or silenced???
Meanwhile, Bannon’s blatantly lying again, saying there are only 13 million illegals here. (Many think 20M+ came in just under Biden alone.)
When did that judge support the legal claims against Biden for the nationwide chaos created by his border policies???
LOL!
All of the Defendants are Hard Left, career, government lawyers.
None of them voted for Donald Trump.
If you read 8 USC 1231, you will see the blatant BS that these judges are spewing. In regard to criminal illegal aliens, there are NO PRIVATE Causes of Action available in regard to removal. If the home country refuses to accept their return, then it is up to the US AG to decide where they will be sent; NOT a Federal District Court judge. Again, there is no private cause of action per statute. Judges are ignoring the law - WHEN IS THE SCOTUS GOING TO REIN THEM IN???????
Tell this judge to go pee up a rope.
Dare Roberts to do something about it.
L
The only chaos that exists is the hissy fits you Judges are having and mucking up the system.
