Trump admin asks Supreme Court to restart South Sudan deportations

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court Tuesday to overturn a federal judge's order that blocks the government from sending undocumented immigrants to countries they're not citizens of.The big picture: The move comes after U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy determined last week that the administration "unquestionably" violated his ruling by swiftly deporting a group of immigrants to South Sudan.Zoom in: "All of this is particularly unjustifiable because many class members are aliens who have never been admitted into the United States," Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in the filing to the high court."Thus, they do not have due-process rights to any additional removal procedures beyond the ones the political branches have provided," he argued.The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.Between the lines: The request to the Supreme Court on Tuesday is the Trump administration's latest attempt to fight federal courts placing limits on its sweeping attempts to deport immigrants.Notably, the administration skipped appealing to the First Circuit and went straight to the Supreme Court.Context: Immigration attorneys accused the Trump administration of deporting immigrants from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan in violation of a court order Murphy issued in April.The judge had already ruled that sending undocumented immigrants to countries they're not citizens of would "clearly violate" an earlier order against sending people to third countries.Murphy found last week that the government did not give enough time for eight immigrants from various nationalities to contest their removal before they were put on a plane to South Sudan, ruling that the government's actions "were unquestionably in violation" of the court's order."The Trump administration in its Tuesday filing argued that "it typically takes 'minutes,' not weeks, for an alien to express a fear of being tortured in a country."Editor's note: This is a breaking news story.
