The article is mostly accurate, with the core claim of a judge blocking deportations to South Sudan after the Supreme Court allowed them being supported by multiple sources.

Detailed Analysis:

- Claim:** The judge's action occurred the day after the Supreme Court permitted the deportation to go forward.
- Verification Source #1, #3, #4: Support this claim.
- Claim:** South Sudan is "war-torn."
- Verification Source #1, #4: While these sources mention South Sudan in the context of deportations, they do not explicitly describe it as "war-torn."
