US judge accuses Trump admin of ‘manufacturing chaos’ in South Sudan deportations, escalating feud
A federal judge in Massachusetts chastised senior Trump officials Monday night for failing to comply with his court orders after a group of migrants was deported from the U.S. to South Sudan — the latest dust-up centered on deportations, due process protections and the administration’s willingness, or lack thereof, to comply with federal courts.
In a scathing, 17-page order, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy rejected Trump’s request to amend or withdraw the judge’s earlier decision requiring them to keep in U.S. custody six migrants who were deported to South Sudan without due process or notice.
On Wednesday, Murphy ordered that the migrants remain in U.S. custody at a military base in Djibouti until each of them could be given a «reasonable fear interview,» or a chance to explain to U.S. officials any fear of persecution or torture, should they be released into South Sudanese custody.
As of Monday night, he said, these interviews had not taken place.

«It turns out that having immigration proceedings on another continent is harder and more logistically cumbersome than defendants anticipated,» Murphy said in his order, noting that the Trump administration is free to return individuals to have the interviews carried out on U.S. soil.
He also took aim at Trump officials for attacking the courts, noting Monday night that defendants here have «mischaracterized» the court’s order, «while at the same time manufacturing the very chaos they decry.»
The salvo comes as Murphy, a federal judge in Boston, presides over a class-action lawsuit from migrants who are challenging deportations to third countries, including South Sudan, El Salvador and other countries, including Costa Rica, Guatemala and others that the administration has reportedly eyed in its ongoing wave of deportations.
In considering the third-country removals, Murphy stressed that he has attempted to strike a delicate balance between due process protections under the U.S. Constitution and the Trump administration’s wave of eleventh-hour removals and deportations.
Murphy noted that he allowed the Trump administration to keep the six deported migrants in South Sudan under the custody of U.S. officials, so long as they carry out the so-called «reasonable fear interviews,» and make a determination over whether the migrants’ concerns were adequate.

«The court never said that defendants had to convert their foreign military base into an immigration facility,» Murphy wrote in his order Monday night. «It only left that as an option, again, at defendants’ request.»
Murphy also doubled down on his earlier orders as «sensible and conservative,» noting that he had repeatedly attempted to strike the right balance in weighing the Trump administration’s requests for the men to remain in South Sudan against their right to habeas proceedings and due process under the U.S. Constitution.
He also cited DOJ’s seemingly fluid position as to what constitutes adequate notice for removals. He said Justice Department attorneys previously told the court that they believe that 24 hours is sufficient and meaningful notice to remove certain migrants, before breaking with that in removing the men to South Sudan.
These individuals also do not appear to have any access to counsel. In one case, he said, plaintiffs declared Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials had canceled at least one prerescheduled meeting with an attorney and her client.
«Class members likewise had no opportunity to learn anything about South Sudan, a nascent, unstable country to which the United States has recently told its citizens not to travel because of crime, kidnapping, and armed conflict,» Murphy said.

The judge’s order is the latest attempt by federal courts judges to rein in the Trump administration as it continues to deport migrants to third countries, including El Salvador and South Sudan.
U.S. judges have repeatedly ruled that the Trump administration has violated due process by failing to notify the migrants of their imminent removals, or afford them any opportunity to challenge their deportations in court— a view reiterated, albeit narrowly, by the Supreme Court four separate times since Trump took office.
The judges have repeatedly ordered the Trump administration to facilitate their return to the U.S. To date, the Trump administration has not complied publicly with any of the requests to return the deported individuals.
White House officials, meanwhile, have blasted so-called «activist» judges as attempting to enact a political agenda, and have repeatedly rejected the notion that illegal immigrants are not entitled to due process.

Trump took aim at what he described as «USA hating judges» in a Truth Social post Monday, arguing that they «suffer from an ideology that is sick and very dangerous for our country.»
Earlier, he described Murphy as yet another «activist judge» who he said is trying to protect «criminal illegal immigrant monsters.»
«The court recognizes that the class members at issue here have criminal histories,» Murphy wrote in an apparent response to these comments Monday night.
«But that does not change due process,» he wrote. «The court treats its obligation to these principles with the seriousness that anyone committed to the rule of law should understand.»
Murphy added in his order that the Trump administration is welcome to submit its arguments to the court in writing.
But he noted, «From this course of conduct, it is hard to come to any conclusion other than that Defendants invite lack of clarity as a means of evasion.»

Astronautas de la Crew-10 de SpaceX completaron su misión y regresaron a la Tierra tras cinco meses en la Estación Espacial Internacional
Cuatro astronautas regresaron este sábado a la Tierra tras casi cinco meses en la Estación Espacial Internacional (EEI), según informó el Centro Espacial Kennedy de la NASA. La tripulación, conformada por Anne McClain y Nichole Ayers de la NASA, Takuya Onishi de la Agencia de Exploración Aeroespacial de Japón (JAXA) y Kirill Peskov de Roscosmos, amerizó a las 8:33 horas del Pacífico estadounidense (15:33 GMT) frente a la costa de California, después de desacoplarse de la estación el viernes.
La cápsula Dragon, desarrollada por SpaceX, descendió en el océano Pacífico guiada por paracaídas, completando así la expedición tras 148 días en el laboratorio orbital. El amerizaje marcó la primera vez en casi 50 años que astronautas de NASA retornaron al Pacífico, la última ocasión había sido durante la histórica misión Apollo-Soyuz en 1975, cuando astronautas estadounidenses y soviéticos se encontraron en órbita.
Además, es la primera vez que una misión del programa de vuelos tripulados comerciales aterriza frente a las costas de California, desde que SpaceX decidió cambiar el punto de retorno de Florida a la costa oeste del país para reducir el riesgo de caída de escombros sobre áreas pobladas.
Durante su estancia en la EEI, la tripulación de la Crew-10 realizó una serie de investigaciones científicas destinadas a facilitar futuras misiones fuera de la órbita baja terrestre, según informó la NASA. Parte de esos experimentos estuvo compuesto por estudios biomédicos y tecnológicos, así como investigaciones sensibles al tiempo, tantas de ellas transportadas de regreso a la Tierra para su análisis inmediato.
La misión Crew-10 tiene una relevancia especial debido a su papel en la rotación de tripulaciones en la EEI. Según la fuente, los astronautas llegaron a la estación espacial el pasado 16 de marzo tras despegar desde el Centro Espacial Kennedy en Florida, con el objetivo de reemplazar a los tripulantes asignados previamente al fallido vuelo de demostración de la cápsula Starliner de Boeing. El prolongado fallo en el sistema del nuevo vehículo mantuvo a los astronautas Butch Wilmore y Suni Williams en la estación espacial más de nueve meses, muy por encima de la semana originalmente planeada, lo que llevó a NASA a ordenar el regreso del Starliner vacío y cambiar a la pareja a un vuelo de SpaceX.
Durante su retorno, McClain hizo referencia a “tiempos tumultuosos en la Tierra”, subrayando el valor de la cooperación internacional en la exploración espacial y la capacidad de la humanidad de trabajar unida ante desafíos globales. La comandante señaló que, tras el regreso, esperaba descansar unos días en Houston, mientras que el resto de la tripulación expresó entusiasmo por disfrutar de comodidades como duchas calientes y hamburguesas frescas, tras varios meses en el ambiente cerrado de la EEI.
Este décimo viaje operativo de SpaceX a la EEI destaca por el uso continuado de la cápsula Dragon como medio seguro de traslado entre la órbita y la superficie terrestre. La elección del Pacífico como zona de amerizaje responde a criterios de seguridad, asegurando tanto la integridad de la tripulación como la protección de las muestras científicas, muchas de ellas sumamente sensibles al tiempo y requeridas para experimentos en la Tierra apenas horas después del aterrizaje.
A esta tripulación la ha reemplazado ya la misión Crew-11, que permanecerá durante los próximos meses a bordo del laboratorio orbital, continuando con el programa de investigación de la NASA y sus socios internacionales.

Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to stop Texas lawmakers’ plan to redraw the state’s congressional map, but critics, including one prominent member of their own party, say they don’t exactly hold the moral high ground.
Democrat legislators have fled the state to avoid votes on redistricting, which is expected to add more Republican seats to Congress for the Lone Star State. They’re getting the rock-star treatment as they visit blue states, where several governors have vowed to gerrymander Republicans out of their own Congressional delegations in retaliation for the Texas effort.

However, Democratic strategist Julian Epstein told «Fox News Live» on Saturday that his party is not immune from criticism, as many blue states have already gerrymandered in a way that limits Republican congressional representation.
«No, I think they don’t have the moral authority, and there’s a lot of pearl-clutching going on,» he said.
Several blue states, including Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Mexico, have no Republicans in their House delegations. And many feature oddly-drawn districts, seemingly crafted to limit GOP representation.
«The Democrats don’t have clean hands here. You look at states like Massachusetts, New Jersey[…] Illinois, California, and Democrats have effectively gerrymandered Republicans out of existence,» Epstein added.
NETWORKS POUNCE ON REPUBLICAN REDISTRICTING. THEY DIDN’T CARE WHEN DEMOCRATS DID IT
J.B. Pritzker, governor of Illinois, left, and State Representative Gene Wu, a Democrat from Texas, during a news conference at the Democratic Party of DuPage County office in Carol Stream, Illinois, US, on Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025.
Epstein cautioned that the nationwide redistricting battle could create a «race to the bottom,» and that leaving Republicans and Democrats in states led by the opposite parties could lead to people feeling left out of the democratic process. Epstein cited New Jersey, in which Trump garnered 46% of the vote in 2024, but Republicans only have three out of the 12 congressional seats.
Meanwhile, Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison, a Republican, told Fox News Digital on Saturday that Democrats are guilty of «total hypocrisy and faux outrage.»
«The dirty little secret is Democrats have no problem whatsoever with states redrawing their congressional maps to maximize partisan political advantage. They’re just furious that Republican states are starting to redraw their maps,» Harrison said.

«It’s because Democrat state after Democrat state, for a decade, has been gerrymandering the hell out of their congressional maps,» he said.
«Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware, all of these states have zero. If you’re a Republican in those Democrat states, you don’t have any voice in Congress,» he added. «And [there are] many, many more that have given you just one seat, Oregon, I think Maine and Maryland.»
In California, a special election is likely to occur in November to counteract the Texas redistricting plan.

«We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what’s happening in Texas, and we will nullify what happens in Texas,» California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Friday with some Texas state lawmakers.
«We’ll pick up five seats with the consent of the people. And that’s the difference between the approach we’re taking and the approach they’re taking,» Newsom added. «We’re doing it on a temporary basis. We’re doing it in a fully transparent way and we’re doing it by asking the people of the state of California for their consent and support.»
Harrison explained that Texas’s redistricting push has numerous reasons behind it, including the population growth in the Lone Star state since the last census.
