U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss issued a 96-hour hold on Thursday , pausing the Trump administration's deportations until noon on Monday .

The eight asylum-seekers claim they would face severe violence and threats if returned to their countries of origin.

The plaintiffs are represented by the National Immigrant Justice Center , the American Civil Liberties Union's Immigrants’ Rights Project , and the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies .

The Justice Department argued Thursday morning that Moss lacks jurisdiction to intervene in the matter.
