Federal judge accuses Trump's administration on South Sudan deport case
Trump, in response to the accusations, criticizes the judge, claiming that he is acting without knowledge of the case.d.
A federal judge accused Donald Trump's government of intentionally generating chaos in order to avoid court orders on the case of eight immigrant detainees that were deported to South Sudan, a country at war. Massachusetts District Attorney Judge Brian Murphy accused them again, after a federal court order demanded that the Government give the detainees more time to appeal their deportation.
After the last accusation given by Judge Murphy, the administration said that the eight detainees were still in U.S. custody, when the plane that was flying them had not arrived yet. They reached an agreement: instead of returning them to the U.S., the detainees are held on an American military base in Djibouti. Judge Murphy is considering contempt of court sanctions for the administration officials.

President Trump against Judge Murphy
When Murphy accused them last week, President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account, calling the judge "out of control". "They’re hurting our country, and they know nothing about particular situations, or what they are doing — And this must change, IMMEDIATELY," said the President.
In that post, President Trump announced that the eight men deported had criminal records in the U.S. In the images, there are also their crimes, including murder, sexual assaults, and robbery. However, Murphy acknowledges their criminal records, but that does not exempt them from due process.

What are the limits now?
After all of this situation, there is a measure that the government must now give the deportees "reasonable fear" interviews in order to evaluate their U.S. permanency due to the persecution or torture risk in the country they will be sent to.
There are many other immigration cases that have been questioned regarding their deportation to other countries. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has been negotiating with other countries in order to accept their deported people.
