Welcome to Achievement: The Trump administration moved to deport eight men to South Sudan in what a federal judge in Boston says it was “without a doubt” a violation of a court order.
What happened? On Tuesday, the United States government put eight men, only one of a South Sudanese citizen, on a deportation flight to South Sudan, an unstable country in East Africa that is on the edge or civil war, with a minimum warning and without the possibility of speaking.

Murphy also raised the possibility of criminal contempt sanctions for officials involved in deportations.
What is the context? This is not the first time that the Trump administration tries deportations to a dangerous country of third parties. The administration has not only sent Venezuelan immigrants to a brutal megaprison of El Salvadoran, but Murphy, the federal judge in Boston, also intervenes in early May to block deportation flights to Libya.
What does this mean for Trump’s immigration plans? The Trump administration is almost sure that it will continue to test the limits of what it can do with immigration. In an interview published today, Vice President JD Vance claimed that “he is seeing an effort on the part of the courts to literally revoke the will of the American people” on the application of the immigration law, raising the spectrum of more clashes to come.

So we would be negligent to not share the attempt of the attached editor of Vox, Izzie Ramírez, to do exactly that: for (almost) a full month, he left his iPhone and changed to a “silly phone” that could do little more than text messages and call. She writes that the experience encouraged deeper connections and spontaneous hanging, and helped restore her attention capacity. Couldn’t we use all that?
