A judge ruled that the Trump administration's deportations of eight men convicted of violent crimes to South Sudan was "unquestionably violative of this Court's order."

A federal district court judge in Boston ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration’s attempt to send several immigrants from other countries to South Sudan violated a court order blocking the government from deporting people to third countries without allowing them to object to their removal.

The Trump administration “unquestionably” violated a court order when it tried to transfer detainees to war-torn South Sudan without a meaningful opportunity to contest their removal to a place where they might face torture,
