Immigration lawyers asked a federal judge in Massachusetts to block a suspected Trump government in order to deport migrants to a third country, in this case the South Sudan.

They also asked the federal judge Brian Murphy to arrange the return of migrants who may already have been deported to these “third countries” immediately, or places where they are not originally out of them, according to a court report on Tuesday.

Migrants from Myanmar, Vietnam and other countries who have no legal status to stay in the United States received the announcement on Monday that they were deported, their lawyers said.

As lawyers who represented prisoners on Tuesday to contact them on Tuesday, officials from the Port Isabel Detung Center in Texas said that at least one person, originally from Myanmar, had already been brought to South Sudan after an explanation of their lawyer.

“The plaintiffs ask this court for an immediate order that prompted the immediate return of all class members to the South Sudan,” said documents that were submitted to the US district court in Massachusetts. The lawyers also asked the government not to deport migrants in any country that is not their country of origin, unless they receive a proper written announcement and enough time to contest their deportation.

They argued that the actions of the Trump government, to deport their clients, also violate the trial that cancel the deportations of such third countries without an appropriate proper procedure.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately answer a request for comments.

The Trump administration has negotiated with other countries that are ready to accept people who have been deported from the USA

The Department of Homeland Security has already deported more than 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador. It argued that some of the men were members of the Tren de Aragua gang and could be deported with the extraterrestrial enemy law, a dark war law that enables quick distances. The Trump administration also paid EL Salvador $ 6 million for her.

At the beginning of May, the government tried to send migrants to Libya, despite the concerns of human rights groups about the country's notorious human rights acts.

The South Sudan experienced a long civil war in which more than 50,000 people were killed until a fragile peace stopped the fights in 2018. Nevertheless, the political instability remains and continues between rebels and the government. Many, including the United Nations, are concerned about the prospect that the country immerses them again in the civil war.
