‘Insurrection’: Trump’s Deputies Urge Penalties for Biden Judge Who Rejected SCOTUS Ruling on DeportationsNeil Munro 24 Jun 2025
President Donald Trump’s deputies have asked the Supreme Court to punish a Boston-based activist judge who has rejected the court’s decision to allow deportations to other countries.
The drama began on Monday when the court issued a statement allowing the administration to quickly deport migrants into countries that are not their home countries. For example, it allowed Trump’s deputies to deport Chinese migrants to an alternative country if China refuses to accept the return of the migrant.
But the court’s approval was rejected by activist Judge Brian Murphy. The Senate confirmed Murphy in a 50-49 vote in late November, just after President Donald Trump’s election victory.
Murphy posted a statement late on Monday saying the court does not impact his management of eight migrants who are being deported to Africa. His orders have kept the migrants stuck at an airport in Djibouti, guarded by U.S. agents, and have prevented officials from making the handover to the government of South Sudan.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to enforce its deportation policy on Murphy. The department’s brief to the court said:
The district court’s ruling of last night is a lawless act of defiance … This Court should immediately make clear that the district court’s enforcement order has no effect, and put a swift end to the ongoing irreparable harm to the Executive Branch.
The judge’s “defiance of this Court’s stay order” is indefensible, the brief said. The court should bar Murphy from the case or require his decisions be approved by the court, the brief said.
Administration officials have repeatedly blasted Murphy.
