A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration on Friday from deporting eight migrants to South Sudan, just hours before their scheduled removal.
The emergency order, issued by U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, came one day after the Supreme Court cleared the way for the deportations, prompting a last-minute legal challenge from the migrants’ attorneys, Reuters reported. The men—none of whom are South Sudanese—have been held for weeks at a U.S. military base in Djibouti.
