Those removals would violate a court order saying people must get a “meaningful opportunity” to argue that sending them to a country outside their homeland would threaten their safety, attorneys said.

The apparent removal of one man from Myanmar was confirmed in an email from an immigration official in Texas, according to court documents. He was informed only in English, a language he does not speak well, and his attorneys learned of the plan hours before his deportation flight, they said.

They just never give up. Judges need to be holding these bastards in contempt for ignoring their rulings, and actually putting people in jail. tRump and his yes-men have made it very clear that they don't respect the rule of law, and sending people to South Sudan is as good as a death sentence.
