A legal analyst stated on Saturday that Donald Trump’s administration has recently taken measures that might adversely affect an unrelated lawsuit.
Previous federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg, who
previously commented on Trump’s criminal legal matters
appeared on MSNBC over the weekend to talk about the ongoing cases involving the administration.
The host queried Greenberg regarding a judge who had momentarily halted Trump’s deportation of Asian immigrants to Libya, and how this could intersect with the administration’s distinct action of arranging for a chartered aircraft to transport white South African refugees to the United States.

“So could that be used to undercut the administration’s argument in court that they are under duress from this onslaught of migration?” the host asked.
Greenberg answered, “Absolutely.”
“And Judge Murphy’s order here was very clear. He said that any migrants must be provided at least 15 days to contest their deportation to countries other than the countries that they came from. And so this idea that you would be deporting a number of individuals whose country of origin was in Asia and sending them to Africa, without that 15 day process, that would be a clear violation of the court’s orders,” she said. “And so when these lawyers went to the judge, the judge stated, yes, you cannot just send them abroad without that process. That would be in violation of my order.”
She went on to call the entire scheme “very troubling.”
“You’re either be signing yourself away to be tortured, disappeared, or potentially die,” the attorney noted.
