Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a declaration to federal Judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts, telling him his nationwide injunctions are causing significant harm to other countries and to U.S. foreign policy.

As detailed by Secretary Rubio, lawless nationwide injunctions are wreaking havoc on our foreign relations. He has presented the clearest example yet of why SCOTUS needs to immediately intervene and reign in judges masquerading as diplomats.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday a federal court order requiring the U.S. government to maintain custody of deportees on a flight meant for South Sudan will cause “significant and irreparable harm to U.S. foreign policy.”

Rubio wrote in a declaration filed alongside the Justice Department’s motion:

In South Sudan, the orders threaten to derail significant efforts to quietly rebuild a productive working relationship with the government in Juba.

Further:

Cooperation between the U.S. and South Sudan is critical, both in terms of removals but also to advance the U.S. government’s humanitarian efforts in the country.

And:

Without South Sudan’s cooperation, moving humanitarian relief—food, medicine, etc.—into the region becomes more difficult. It is almost certain the court’s interjection will result in delayed or significantly reduced humanitarian efforts.

A U.S. Department of Justice official told Fox News Digital:

This Department of Justice believes that this situation urgently requires judicial intervention to restore President Trump’s full Article II authority to conduct foreign policy.

Rubio noted the order has already complicated U.S. diplomacy with Libya, South Sudan, and Djibouti and presents a serious threat to the president’s Article II authority to conduct foreign policy.

Rubio said in his filing that the court’s orders had “already interfered with quiet diplomatic efforts and exacerbated internal political and security divisions” in Libya.

Further:

[The order also threatens] to derail efforts to quietly rebuild a productive working relationship with Juba, [the capital of South Sudan].

Thirdly, Rubio said:

[The order “causes harm” in Djibouti, which is “strategically located in the Horn of Africa” with the only U.S. military base on the African continent.

The deportees are being temporarily held at a U.S. Naval base in Djibouti.

The filing said:

Because of this Court’s Orders, [the U.S. government is] currently detaining dangerous criminals in a sensitive location without clear knowledge of when, how, or where this Court will tolerate their release.

This development has put impermissible, burdensome constraints on the President’s ability to carry out his Article II powers, including his powers to command the military, manage relations with foreign nations, and execute our nation’s immigration authorities.

Calling for a stay if not a reconsideration of the order, the filing claimed:

[The deportees] enjoyed the benefit of full process under the laws of the United States and were lawfully removed from the country.

The administration wrote:

These criminal aliens needed only state that they had a fear of removal to South Sudan to receive the other procedures required by the Court’s April 18, 2025, injunction.

Further:

The aliens did not do so. Therefore, DHS attempted to remove these aliens—who have committed the most reprehensible violations of our nation’s laws—to a place where they no longer pose a threat to the United States.

The flight left from Texas earlier this week with eight migrants from Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, Mexico and South Sudan.
