Washington, May 21: The Trump administration violated a court order on deportations to third countries with a flight linked to the chaotic nation of South Sudan, a federal judge said Wednesday.

The group was flown out of the United States just hours after getting notice, leaving them no chance to contact lawyers to object in court.
