Lawyers have accused the Trump administration of defying a federal court order claiming they're deporting Asian migrants to South Sudan, a country on the brink of civil war. Lawyers of two men from Myanmar and Vietnam say their clients were being held in U.S. custody and were told on Monday that they would be sent to South Sudan.

By Tuesday morning, these men had been put on a plane along with as many as 10 other deportees. A Boston judge convened an urgent hearing where the Justice Department said one man had been sent to Myanmar, not South Sudan, but would not reveal where another man was sent. According to the Washington Post, court records show at least one individual had been sent to the African nation.
