US President Donald Trump’s administration has deported two Asian men in South Sudan, immigration attorneys told court.
In the federal judge to Boston, lawyers said a flight carrying a dozen people, including citizens of Myanmar and Vietnam, landed in South Sudan on Tuesday.
A previous court order prohibits the US government from deporting migrants to third countries without providing a “meaningful opportunity” to challenge such removal.
The BBC contacted the Ministry of Homeland Security for comment. South Sudan is one of the most overwhelming countries in the world and has been struck by conflict and political instability in recent years.
The National Immigration Disputes attorneys requested the federal judge on Tuesday for an emergency order to prevent deportations.
Judge Brian Murphy issued a decision on April 18, requiring illegal migrants to have a chance to challenge the removal of countries other than their homes.
After reporting that some of the migrants would be sent to Libya, Judge Murphy, appointed to Biden, said every such move would break his decision.
The Burmese man’s lawyers said on Tuesday on Tuesday that their client spoke limited English and refused to sign a removal notice served by him by employees at the Texas Immigration Center.
On Tuesday morning, a lawyer sent an email to the center after noticed that her client was no longer displayed in the US immigration and detained locator of customs, the court filing says. She was informed that she was removed from the United States.
When she asked in which country her client was removed, the email replied, “South Sudan.”
The lawyers said another client, a Vietnamese man, “seems to have suffered the same fate” and “E or is on the same flight” as the Myanmar man.
The husband of the Vietnamese man sent an email to his lawyer and said that the group of about 10 other persons, who are believed to have been deported, include citizens of Laos, Thailand, Pakistan and Mexico, according to Reuters.
“Please help!” said the husband in an email. “They can’t be allowed to do this.”
