From the Daily Caller: A federal judge blocked deportations for eight migrants Monday night in what the Trump administration called a “lawless act of defiance” of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration earlier on Monday to move forward with quickly deporting illegal migrants to countries not specified in their removal orders. The ruling pausing an injunction issued by Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, which required the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to give migrants notice and allow them to raise concerns about potential threats of torture before deporting them to a “third country.”
However, Murphy issued an order Monday night blocking immediate removal of eight migrants currently held at a U.S. naval base in Djibouti to South Sudan.
Murphy wrote that an earlier May 21 order issued after finding the administration violated his preliminary injunction was still in effect, citing Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissenting opinion.
The Trump administration is fighting back, asking the Supreme Court to clarify their ruling.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) lambasted the judge for defying the Supreme Court’s order.
He listed off the crimes the illegal aliens are charged with, who the judge is protecting from deportation: “One is a convicted arsonist, armed robbery, murderer of an elderly woman, two other murderers, one is a child rapist, another is a rapist of a special needs person.”
WATCH:
Mass migration must be met with mass deportations. Period.
That’s what Americans voted for.

This leftwing radical Biden judge got jammed through the Senate in December, in the lame-duck session after Democrats lost the White House and Senate.
Six months into the job, Massachusetts U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy is now openly defying a Supreme Court order.
