The Department of Homeland Security argued to a federal judge in Massachusetts that it did not violate his order, which modified the process of deporting certain migrants, because a different federal department carried out the removals.
The DHS told Judge Brian Murphy that because his order applied only to the named defendants in the case he presided over, the government remained compliant with the court. The defendants include the DHS, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
Last month, Murphy, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, sided with immigration lawyers who filed a class action lawsuit against the government on behalf of four migrants who they said were at risk of being deported without appropriate due process or had already been wrongly deported.
