Supreme Court clears way for deportation to South Sudan of several immigrants with no ties there
- The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to deport eight convicted immigrants detained in Djibouti to war‑torn South Sudan in a ruling issued in late June 2025.
- This decision followed legal challenges led by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, who blocked broader deportations requiring migrants to have chances to claim risk of torture if sent to third countries.
- The eight men, mostly lacking ties to South Sudan, were detained over a month in Djibouti after a flight intended to deport them was detoured there amid concern over their safety.
- The court's conservative majority ruled that immigration officials possess extensive authority to quickly remove individuals to third countries, despite objections from Justices Sotomayor and Jackson who highlighted the potential dangers, including torture or death, that deportees might face.
- This ruling clears the way for deportations to proceed but indicates ongoing legal battles in lower courts and highlights debates over protections for noncitizens facing removal.
