United States President Donald Trump's administration asked the US Supreme Court to lift a judge's order that stopped the administration's plans to rapidly deport immigrants to countries where they have no previous ties.

US District Judge Brian Murphy found last week that the Trump administration went against his ruling by attempting to deport a group of immigrants to South Sudan. Murphy said the deportees were not given sufficient notice about where they were being deported to and had insufficient opportunity to express concerns that they might be tortured or killed in those locations.

Solicitor General John Sauer filed an emergency appeal Tuesday challenging Murphy's decision. "All of this is particularly unjustifiable because many class members are aliens who have never been admitted into the United States," Sauer wrote. "Thus, they do not have due-process rights to any additional removal procedures beyond the ones the political branches have provided," he stressed.
