A judge prevents the Trump administration from deporting eight migrants to South Sudan hours before the flight, citing a need for court review.

Eight immigrants the Trump administration has been trying to send to the war-torn country of South Sudan can now be relocated after a federal judge briefly halted the action Friday.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., temporarily blocked the Trump administration on Friday from deporting eight foreign nationals to South Sudan, just days after the Supreme Court sided with the administration in a related deportation case.
