The White House violated a court order on deportations to third countries with a flight linked to the chaotic African nation of South Sudan, a federal judge said Wednesday, hours after the Trump administration said it had expelled eight immigrants convicted of violent crimes but refused to reveal where they would end up.

Minutes before the hearing, administration officials accused "activist judges" of advocating the release of dangerous criminals.
