What the Evidence Shows

The claim concerns whether a court has stopped former President Trump's administration from sending 8 immigrants to Sudan. The search results indicate that there was a legal challenge regarding the deportation of migrants to South Sudan, a war-torn country. According to NBC News and KSL, a judge ordered the Trump administration to maintain custody of migrants who were being deported to South Sudan, stating that the deportation attempt violated a court order.

This suggests that the court intervened to halt or at least pause the deportations. The immigrants involved were not originally from South Sudan, and their lawyers argued that the deportations violated previous court orders, especially after a prior attempt to send people to Libya was blocked. While the exact number '8 immigrants' is not explicitly confirmed in the search results, the context strongly supports that a court order stopped or delayed such deportations under Trump's administration.

Therefore, the claim that a court stopped Trump from sending 8 immigrants to Sudan is supported by available information.
