The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to proceed with deportations of migrants to South Sudan, lifting lower court injunctions that had required additional due process before such removals.

Eight men convicted of violent crimes were deported to South Sudan. The deportations are controversial due to concerns about their safety given South Sudan's ongoing civil war, lack of ties to the country, and warnings from the U.S. State Department against travel to South Sudan.

Lower court rulings required the government to provide due process and ensure deportees were not sent to countries where they might face torture, but the Supreme Court's ruling paused those requirements, allowing the deportations to proceed.

The Trump administration stated in court filings that South Sudanese officials assured that the deportees would not face torture upon their return, although critics remain concerned about their safety.

Critics, including some Supreme Court justices in dissent, have called the deportations "punitive and unconstitutional," arguing that the deportees were denied due process and sent to a dangerous country despite safety concerns.
