US supreme court clears way for deportation of migrants to South Sudan
Supreme Court Greenlights Deportations to South Sudan
The U.S. Supreme Court has paved the way for the deportation of eight migrants to South Sudan, a nation where none have established ties. This decision, handed down today, allows the Biden administration to proceed with sending individuals detained in a shipping container for six weeks to the East African country.
The ruling upholds a Trump-era policy permitting the transfer of migrants to third countries. Advocates express deep concern, citing the instability and humanitarian crisis in South Sudan. This move raises questions about due process and the potential dangers faced by those being deported.
Legal experts note that "third-country removal" agreements are increasingly common as nations seek to manage migration flows.
