Migrants Deported From US to South Sudan Held in Djibouti
- Eight individuals removed from the United States on May 20 were temporarily detained in Djibouti rather than being sent directly to South Sudan as initially planned.
- The migrants were expelled due to past violent crime convictions, but the US lacked consent from their home countries for repatriation.
- US District Judge Brian Murphy ruled the Trump administration violated orders by giving migrants insufficient time to appeal their expulsions under the UN Convention Against Torture.
- Six migrants had the right to contest expulsion citing fear of torture or ill-treatment with legal aid and needed at least 10 to 15 days to appeal.
- The ruling halts the migrants’ transfer to South Sudan, highlighting ongoing legal barriers to the administration’s deportation policies amid concerns over migrant rights and safety.
