US District Judge Brian Murphy on Monday evening defied the US Supreme Court and said his order barring deportation of illegal aliens to South Sudan remains in effect.
In a 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump Administration to resume deporting illegal aliens to ‘third-party’ countries.
The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s emergency application and paused Judge Brian Murphy’s order blocking the third-country removals.

Just ignore this clown.
Have you looked?
Here ... here's another source ... Fox news vid, at link ...
JUST IN: Stephen Miller says to expect “fireworks” tomorrow when the Trump admin holds a Boston judge accountable for defying the Supreme Court.
Miller’s comment comes after the Supreme Court voted to allow the Trump admin to send illegals to countries other than their homelands.“A little bit of breaking news is that the district court judge in Boston has said he's going to defy the Supreme Court's ruling.”
“So expect fireworks tomorrow when we hold this judge accountable for refusing to obey the Supreme Court.”

You're welcome.
..... So called Judge ... Brian Murphy just admitted that he can't abide by the constitutional boundaries of his job ..... Dude is no longer qualified to be in his position ..... He must go ....
.
Yeah, I did look. I went down 5 pages and FOX wasn’t in the returns.
Thank you.
👍🏼
So far Trump has played “fair”, even when they haven’t. If judges no longer abide by SCOTUS, I guess nobody needs to listen to anything any judge anywhere says.
Pandora’s box is opened.... But I see no hope at the bottom.
Ha! And, here all of the leftists insisted that Pres Trump would be the first/the one to defy the courts.
Fooled, again ... LOSER LIBS!!
Agree. See my post 27.
Dear bree-anne........🖕
So sez Judge Pipsqueek.
My hope is that they are all ignored or arrested.
Its not the USSC anymore. It's an institution corrupted by those that fear the ballot box in favor of destruction to accomplish what that ballot box has failed to deliver for them again, and again, and again...
So what will they do?
100%
I sure hope this idiot does not issue arrest warrants for the SC justices.
In an alarming b,ow to democracy, a lower court judge ignores the Supreme Court, and claims that his ru,in is still in effect even though the Supreme Court ruled by majority vote that it isnt
Perfect time for the Republicans to come out and use the lefts own words against them and claim that democracy is under attack by the lower court judge!
Is the judge going rogue? Is this another activist district court judge willing to play linguistic games with the Supreme Court to stop President Trump? Will he get away with it or will the Supreme Court act swiftly to clarify their intent?
Based on the evidence, Judge Murphy appears to be using technical legal distinctions to circumvent the Supreme Court's clear intent, raising serious questions about judicial overreach.
The Technical Maneuver
Judge Murphy is distinguishing between two separate orders:
• April 18, 2025 preliminary injunction (stayed by Supreme Court)
• May 21, 2025 "Order on Remedy" (which he claims remains in effect)
His argument is procedurally narrow: since the government didn't specifically appeal or seek a stay of the remedial order, it wasn't properly before the Supreme Court. However, this distinction appears to be more formalistic than substantive.
Evidence of Problematic Behavior
1. Practical Circumvention
The May 21 remedial order has the same practical effect as the preliminary injunction—blocking third-country deportations until additional procedures are completed. This effectively nullifies the Supreme Court's decision to allow such deportations to resume.
2. Reliance on Dissenting Opinion
Judge Murphy explicitly cites Justice Sotomayor's dissent to justify his interpretation. As established, dissenting opinions carry no legal weight and cannot limit the majority's decision—this is highly irregular judicial reasoning.
3. Pattern of Resistance
The record shows Judge Murphy has repeatedly clashed with the administration, at one point accusing DOJ lawyers of "manufacturing the very chaos they decry". He previously threatened contempt proceedings and issued emergency custody orders to prevent deportations.
Is This "Activist" Behavior?
The evidence suggests yes. Judge Murphy appears to be:
• Using procedural technicalities to achieve a substantive outcome the Supreme Court rejected
• Substituting his policy preferences for statutory authority
• Creating judicial remedies not required by law (mandatory "reasonable fear interviews," specific notice periods)
Likely Supreme Court Response
The Supreme Court will likely act swiftly and decisively for several reasons:
1. Clear Intent Circumvention
The Court's purpose was unmistakable—allow DHS to resume third-country deportations. Judge Murphy's maneuver directly undermines this intent.
2. Jurisdictional Issues
The Supreme Court may clarify that 8 U.S.C. § 1252(f)(1) bars all class-wide injunctive relief affecting removal operations, not just "preliminary" injunctions.
3. Institutional Authority
Allowing a district judge to effectively nullify a Supreme Court decision through semantic games would severely undermine the Court's authority and the hierarchical nature of federal courts.
Conclusion
Judge Murphy appears to be engaging in the type of judicial activism that prioritizes preferred outcomes over legal constraints. His technical distinction, while potentially defensible on narrow procedural grounds, substantively defeats the Supreme Court's clear intent.
The Supreme Court is unlikely to tolerate this circumvention and will probably issue clarifying language—either through an amended stay order or by expediting full review—to ensure their decision has its intended effect. The pattern suggests this judge is indeed "going rogue" and using linguistic games to resist executive authority, but such tactics rarely survive Supreme Court scrutiny.
