"We were also forced to leave behind, in order to watch these hardened thugs, a large number of ICE Officers, who would otherwise be in the United States, protecting our Citizens," he went on.

A livid President Donald Trump on Thursday excoriated a federal judge for interfering in the deportation of eight violent criminals to South Sudan.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy on Wednesday found that the administration had not provided due process to several deportees, saying “[i]t was impossible for these people to have a meaningful opportunity to object to their transfer to South Sudan." Trump, for his part, fumed over judicial intervention in his effort to send criminal aliens to "third party" countries.

"A Federal Judge in Boston, who knew absolutely nothing about the situation, or anything else, has ordered that EIGHT of the most violent criminals on Earth curtail their journey to South Sudan, and instead remain in Djibouti," he posted on Truth Social. "He would not allow these monsters to proceed to their final destination. This is not the premise under which I was elected President, which was to PROTECT our Nation."

"The Judges are absolutely out of control, they’re hurting our Country, and they know nothing about particular situations, or what they are doing — And this must change, IMMEDIATELY!" Trump declared. "Hopefully, the Supreme Court of the United States will put an END to the quagmire that has been caused by the Radical Left. If this is not worked out quickly, and the World is watching, our Country will be under siege again, with hundreds of thousands of hardened criminals, 'BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS.'"

"We were also forced to leave behind, in order to watch these hardened thugs, a large number of ICE Officers, who would otherwise be in the United States, protecting our Citizens," he went on.
