US deports 8 migrants to South Sudan: Legal challenges overruled by supreme court; critics call move unconstitutional

The Trump administration deported eight migrants with alleged criminal convictions to South Sudan, reversing an initial plan to send them to Djibouti. This action follows a Supreme Court decision removing judge-imposed due process requirements for third-country deportations. An attorney for the migrants criticized the deportation as punitive and unconstitutional, citing State Department warnings against travel to South Sudan.
