US deports eight men to South Sudan after legal battle
The US deports eight men, including convicted criminals, to South Sudan after legal challenges. These men from various countries were initially diverted to Djibouti amid a legal battle. The deportations come as part of the Trump administration's efforts to expand removals to third countries. Despite potential concerns over the fate of these individuals in South Sudan, the Supreme Court has allowed the deportations to proceed, signaling a victory for US authorities over legal challenges.
