Overview
The Supreme Court previously ruled in favor of expedited deportations to South Sudan, allowing the Trump administration to enforce its immigration policies.
Federal judges have now temporarily blocked the deportation of eight immigrants, citing the dangerous conditions in South Sudan due to civil war.
An emergency request from lawyers led to a federal judge extending the halt on deportations until a hearing can be held.
Judge Moss assigned the case and determined that Judge Brian Murphy should handle the issues surrounding the deportations.
The deportation flight for eight men from various countries, including Vietnam and Mexico, has been halted by the federal judge's order.
