US EditionAfter reports of deportations to South Sudan, US says it's removed 8 people convicted of crimes
- On Tuesday, the Trump administration sent a flight carrying eight immigrants who had been found guilty of serious offenses, with indications that some were being relocated to South Sudan and other nations.
- The migrants' home countries refused to accept them, leading to the use of third countries despite a court order restricting such deportations without proper legal process.
- A federal judge in Boston instructed government officials to attend an urgent hearing to clarify the deportations and guarantee that migrants are treated with care and given the chance to challenge removal decisions.
- Todd Lyons, ICE acting director, stated these deportations target "true national security threats," while South Sudan denied receiving migrants and said any arrivals would be investigated and potentially re-deported.
- The deportation actions sparked diplomatic tensions with South Sudan, a nation facing major human rights issues and civil unrest, while some South Sudanese in the U.S. Remain protected under Temporary Protected Status due to unsafe conditions.
