Judge briefly blocks immigrants' deportation to South Sudan, but legal path eventually cleared
Story by NICHOLAS RICCARDI • 14h

Despite a federal judge briefly halting deportations of eight immigrants to war-torn South Sudan, he and a second judge eventually cleared the wat for the Trump administration to relocate the immigrants the day after the Supreme Court greenlighted their removal.

The unusually-busy Fourth of July court schedule began with District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington, D.C., putting a temporary hold on the deportations while he evaluated a last-ditch appeal by the immigrants' lawyers. In an afternoon hearing, he decided he was powerless to halt their removals and that the person best positioned to rule on the request was Brian Murphy, the federal judge in Boston whose rulings led to the initial halt of the administration's effort to begin deportations to the eastern African country.
 
But on Friday evening, Murphy issued a brief ruling concluding that the Supreme Court had tied his hands. “This Court interprets these Supreme Court orders as binding on this new petition, as Petitioners are now raising substantially similar claims, and therefore Petitioners motion is denied,” Murphy wrote.

Yeah, they were looking for some angle or technicality to get around SCOTUS but couldn't find one.  Shows that the two judges were colluding together to thwart ICE and SCOTUS.

And not doing their duties as "judges" to uphold the law impartially regardless of political philosophies.
