Ice expulsion blocked by Boston judge: migrants now in a shipping container in Djibouti

By Lindsay Whitehurst

Migrants placed on an expulsion flight initially linked to South Sudan are now held in a converted shipping container on an American naval base in Djibouti, where men and their guards are faced with hot temperatures, smoke from the burnes nearby and the imminent threat of rocket attacks, said the Trump administration.

The officials described dark conditions in the court documents filed Thursday before the American district judge Brian E. Murphy in Boston, who oversees a prosecution contesting immigration and the application of customs to quickly withdraw migrants in migrants country they did not come.

The authorities landed the flight at the base of Djibouti, about 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) from South Sudan, more than two weeks ago after Murphy found that the Trump administration had raped his order By quickly sending eight migrants from countries such as Cuba and Vietnam to the East African Nation.

The judge said that men from other countries should have a real chance of raising fears of the dangers they could face South Sudan.

Male lawyers, however, have still not been able to speak to them, said Robyn Barnard, principal director of refugees at Human Rights First, whose mission indicated is to ensure that the United States is a world leader in human rights. Barnard spoke on Friday during a hearing of democratic members of the Congress and said that some members of the men of men were able to talk to them on Thursday.

Migrants have already been found guilty of serious crimes in the United States, and the administration of President Donald Trump said that she was unable to return them quickly to their country of origin. The Ministry of Justice also appealed before the Supreme Court to intervene immediately and allow rapid deportations to third countries to resume.

The case arrives in the middle A repression of radical immigration By the Republican Administration, which is committed to expelling millions of people who live illegally in the United States. Legal fight has become another flash point like the administration rails against judges whose decisions have slowed the president’s policies.

The Trump administration said the conference room converted into the shipping container is the only viable place to house men from the base in Djibouti, where daily outdoor temperatures exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), according to the declaration of an ice official.

The nearby burns are used to remove human waste and waste, and the SMOG cloud makes it difficult to breathe it, disgusting the two ice officers keeping men and detainees, according to documents. They do not have access to all the drugs they need to protect against infections, and ice officers could not finish an antimeluded treatment before landing, said an ice official.

“It is not known how long the world of medical supply,” said Mellissa B. Harper, deputy assistant director of the assistant and dismissal operations in the declaration.

The group is also lacking in protective equipment in the event of a rocket attack of terrorist groups in Yemen, a risk described by the Ministry of Defense, according to documents.
