Migrants in US detention lose appeal against deportation to South Sudan
Briefly

The US Supreme Court has confirmed Donald Trump's ability to deport foreign nationals to other countries, specifically South Sudan. Eight migrants have unsuccessfully attempted to halt their deportation, facing South Sudan's significant human rights violations. The appeal argued that repeated deportations were excessively punitive and violated the US Constitution's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The Department of State has condemned South Sudan for severe human rights abuses, warning against travel due to ongoing armed conflict. Following a series of legal proceedings, the Justice Department is set to proceed with the deportation shortly.
