Trump’s DOJ hit back hard after a Biden judge defied the US Supreme Court and said his order barring the deportation of illegal aliens to South Sudan remains in effect.
US District Judge Brian Murphy on Monday evening defied the US Supreme Court and said the 8 criminal illegals currently stuck in Djibouti have to stay put.
In a 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump Administration to resume deporting illegal aliens to ‘third-party’ countries.
The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s emergency application and paused Judge Brian Murphy’s order blocking the third-country removals.
Liberal Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.
In her dissent, Sotomayor said, “Rather than allowing our lower court colleagues to manage this high-stakes litigation with the care and attention it plainly requires, this Court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defied. I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion.”
On Monday evening, Judge Murphy ignored the US Supreme Court and said his previous order remains in effect.
“The Court’s May 21, 2025 Order on Remedy remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding today’s stay of the Preliminary Injunction,” Murphy said.
On Tuesday morning Solicitor General John Sauer asked the Supreme Court to clarify its decision.
“The district court’s ruling of last night is a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the Executive’s lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals. For over two months now, the Executive has labored under an injunction that this Court yesterday deemed unenforceable. This Court should immediately make clear that the district court’s enforcement order has no effect, and put a swift end to the ongoing irreparable harm to the Executive Branch and its agents, who remain under baseless threat of contempt as they are forced to house dangerous criminal aliens at a military base in the Horn of Africa that now lies on the borders of a regional conflict,” John Sauer wrote.
NEW: The Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to clarify is unexplained ruling that allows the government to send noncitizens to countries where they have no prior ties (third-country removals) without notice or a chance to challenge the decision. https://t.co/o0OTDebnzf pic.twitter.com/QqOCCBTASE
