To Judge Brian E. Murphy:

In case you were thinking of letting this one slide—

The deportation of eight individuals to South Sudan, most not citizens of that nation, occurred without due process. Your court order was clear, yet it was disregarded. I believe you recognize the gravity of this violation.

I believe you’ve come to see that the hard thing is now the necessary thing.

So if you’re hesitating, know this: history has its eye on you.

And we’re listening.

Move forward.
