Trump administration deported 8 migrants to South Sudan

Trump’s administration deported eight migrants to South Sudan, according to an official of the Department of Domestic Security, after the government had to stop their deportation to the base in Djibouti.

“A district judge cannot dictate national security and US foreign policy,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told ABC News. “This independence day marks another victory for the safety and security of the American people.”

The plane landed in South Sudan right before the Midnight Est on Friday.

Eight migrants, allegedly DHS have serious criminal penalties, are the subjects of the lawsuit that have stopped their deportation to South Sudan and diverted them to the US military base in Djibouti.

Conditions at the base, according to the court submission, both challenged to prisoners and ice officials assigned to supervise them.

The lawsuit reached up to the Supreme Court and the court decided that Trump’s government was not bound by a lower court order to look after them in military facilities in Djibouti.

In the 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court on Thursday clarified that the non-citizen of the State, the Trump government moved to deport to South Sudan-and since then survived while in Djibouti in the Limbo Law-not bound by a lower court order to keep them there when the legal process was played.

The decision was another victory for Trump’s administration and its unprecedented efforts to deport immigrants to countries they did not have bonds and where they might face persecution.

In the opinion that was not signed, the Supreme Court explained that when he raised the requirements of the legal process forced by the judge for the transfer of the third country last month, the government could no longer be held accountable for allegedly violating these requirements.

One of the lawyers representing a group of men called their deportation to South Sudan “Punishment and is not constitutional.”

“Because of the procedural decision of the Supreme Court, these people were rejected the opportunity to oppose their deportation to South Sudan based on their fear of torture or death,” Trina Realmuto said in a statement to ABC News. “The US Department of State warns Americans for all trips to South Sudan but deported these people there without a reasonable process. Make no mistake, this deportation is a punishment and is not constitutional.”
