A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s latest policy of deporting immigrants to “third countries” to which they have no ties is unlawful and must be set aside.

A judge says a deportation fight originally bound for South Sudan won't be completing the trip right away even after a divided Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to start swiftly deporting immigrants to countries they aren't from.

The Trump administration says migrants placed on a deportation flight originally bound for South Sudan are now being held in a converted shipping container on a U.S. naval base in Djibouti, where the men and their guards are contending with baking hot temperatures, smoke from nearby burn pits and the looming threat of rocket attacks.

The men who were placed on a deportation flight headed for the chaotic nation of South Sudan were originally from countries as far away as Vietnam.

A federal judge says the White House violated a court order on deportations to third countries with a flight linked to the chaotic nation of South Sudan.

Despite risks that President Donald Trump’s multitrillion-dollar tax breaks package could stall due to conservative holdouts, House Speaker Mike Johnson and his GOP leadership team appeared confident that they will be able to stick to their schedule and shore up Republican support for final passage before Memorial Day.

A federal judge ruled late Tuesday that U.S. officials must retain custody and control of migrants apparently removed to South Sudan in case he orders their removals were unlawful.

U.S. authorities have informed some migrants of plans to deport them to Libya, a country they are not from and that has a history of human rights violations.

Attorneys for the Department of Homeland Security say the agency didn’t violate a judge’s order detailing when people may be deported to countries other than their own because it was the Defense Department — not DHS officials — doing the deporting.
