The Trump administration will be able to send eight migrants held in Djibouti for weeks to South Sudan, where they fear they will face violence, after a flurry of court activity on Friday.

A federal judge in Massachusetts denied an emergency request Friday evening from the migrants’ lawyers to block their deportation to the country, where they said their clients could face torture.

In a brief order, United States District Judge Brian E. Murphy wrote that he interpreted a Supreme Court decision delivered a day earlier allowing the deportation to South Sudan to move forward as “binding” on the request, which he said raised “substantially similar claims.” The nation’s highest court on Thursday had ruled in the Trump administration’s favor and cleared the way to remove the eight migrants to South Sudan.

Earlier Friday, the migrants were handed a brief reprieve from a federal judge in DC that kept the migrants on the ground in Djibouti, while their lawyers transferred their case to Massachusetts federal court, where earlier procedures around the group had been held. Now that Murphy has denied the emergency petition, the flight from Djibouti to South Sudan could take off around 7 p.m. ET.

“Today, law and order prevails,” Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said on X following the decision. CNN has reached out to DHS to confirm the status of the flight.
