Donald Trump is calling on the Supreme Court to intervene after a federal judge temporarily blocked the deportation of eight illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes. Judge Brian Murphy halted a flight to South Sudan, arguing the individuals weren’t properly informed of their rights or given a chance to challenge removal, citing due process concerns.
The ruling sparked outrage from Trump, immigration officials, and conservatives, who argue the individuals had long-standing deportation orders for crimes like murder and child rape. Trump blasted the judge for endangering American lives, calling the decision a dangerous overreach of judicial power. The case has since grounded the deportation flight and ignited fresh debate over immigration enforcement and judicial authority.
