US Supreme Court Approves Deportation of Migrants to South Sudan

SOUTH SUDAN, JUN 26 – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 to permit deportation of eight migrants held at a U.S. base in Djibouti to South Sudan despite concerns over their safety and due process rights.

  • The Supreme Court on July 10, 2025, cleared the path for the Trump administration to deport migrants to third countries, including South Sudan, despite legal challenges.
  • This ruling came after lower court orders mandated that individuals facing deportation be informed and given a chance to contest the removals, directives that the administration repeatedly ignored, leading to ongoing legal disputes.
  • In a detailed 19-page dissent, a Supreme Court justice, supported by two colleagues, criticized the majority for placing executive convenience above constitutional rights and condemned the administration’s repeated violations of court orders.
  • Sotomayor emphasized the importance of careful deliberation in critical cases, noting instances where migrants were deported without proper legal protections to dangerous locations such as the conflict-ridden South Sudan.
  • The ruling enables rapid deportations but raises concerns about undermining judicial authority and exposing deportees to harm, suggesting continued legal and human rights challenges ahead.
