US deports eight men to South Sudan after legal battle

US deports eight men to South Sudan after legal battle

Yahooa day ago
The US has deported eight people to South Sudan following a legal battle that saw them diverted to Djibouti for several weeks.
The men - convicted of crimes including murder, sexual assault and robbery - had either completed or were near the end of their prison sentences.
Only one of the eight is from South Sudan. The rest are nationals of Myanmar, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and Mexico. US officials said most of their home countries had refused to accept them.
The Trump administration is working to expand its deportations to third countries.
It has deported people to El Salvador and Costa Rica. Rwanda has confirmed discussions and Benin, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini and Moldova have been named in media reports as potential partners.
Tricia McLaughlin from the department of homeland security called the South Sudan deportation a victory over "activist judges". A photo provided by homeland security to CBS News, the BBC's US partner, showed the men shackled by both hands and feet on the plane.
Officials did not say whether the South Sudanese government had detained them or what their fate would be. The country remains unstable and is on the brink of civil war, with the US State Department warning against travel because of "crime, kidnapping and armed conflict".
The eight had initially been flown out of the US in May, but their plane was diverted to Djibouti after US district judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts blocked the deportation. He had ruled that migrants being deported to third countries must be given notice and a chance to speak with an asylum officer.
But last week, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration and overturned Murphy's ruling. On Thursday, the Supreme Court confirmed that Murphy could no longer require due process hearings, allowing the deportations to proceed.
Lawyers then asked another judge to intervene but he ultimately ruled that only Judge Murphy had jurisdiction. Judge Murphy then said he had no authority to stop the removals due to the Supreme Court's "binding" decision.
Earlier this year, secretary of state Marco Rubio revoked all visas for South Sudanese passport holders, citing the country's past refusal to accept deported nationals.

The Book Club, launched on July 4, 2025 at Monticello, marks the beginning of a year-long civic engagement initiative leading up to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.

'We think Americans are hungry for the opportunity to rediscover, discuss, and celebrate the Declaration. We can all take inspiration from its global impact and lasting legacy.' The Declaration of Independence Book Club is part of a growing constellation of efforts to mark America's semiquincentennial by reconnecting Americans across differences in conversation about the values that define us. The initiative will also be featured at a Constitution Day event on September 17 hosted by More Perfect and iCivics at American University. 'The Declaration is more than a historical artifact; it's a living promise,' said More Perfect CEO, John Bridgeland..

Kansas City, MO July 07, 2025 --( )-- From the forthcoming Political Protest Album, Fascist Addict, comes a Political Protest song entitled In Real Time. It is a Concept Album and song which looks at Fascism and Oligarchy through a Spiritual Lens, and questions the sincerity of intent of one Donald Trump. It covers the lead up to the execution of the finalizing of the Decades old Republican plan to merely represent their Big Donors, the real power which gets one elected, the top 1/10th of 1%, at the expense of everyone else. The Album, out August 1, 2025, and the Single are in part a Historical (as well as a current) look at Fascism, Oligarchy and Oppression in America. It is a Single the Artist accompanies with the reminder of the famous Woody Guthrie quote: 'It's a Folk Singers job to comfort disturbed people, and to disturb comfortable people.' It is a prayer, in hopes that this time, We The People, The Divided States Of The Poor Working Class, do not again mistake The Pawns for The Kings.
