Immigration attorneys say the Trump administration illegally deported Asian migrants to South Sudan in violation of a federal court order.

A flight carrying about a dozen people, including individuals from Myanmar and Vietnam, reportedly landed in South Sudan on May 20, according to BBC.

The deportations violate Judge Brian Murphy's judgment, which prohibits sending migrants to third nations without a fair opportunity to oppose their removal. Lawyers are currently requesting an emergency halt to such transactions.

The Department of Homeland Security has not commented. South Sudan remains extremely unstable and deprived, BBC reported.
