US supreme court clears way for deportation of migrants to South Sudan

Source: The Guardian/AP

Thu 3 Jul 2025 17.28 EDT


The supreme court on Thursday cleared the way for the deportation of several immigrants who were put on a flight in May bound for South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties.

The decision comes after the court’s conservative majority found that immigration officials can quickly deport people to third countries. The majority halted an order that had allowed immigrants to challenge any removals to countries outside their homeland where they could be in danger.

The court’s latest order makes clear that the South Sudan flight detoured weeks ago can now complete the trip. It reverses findings from federal Judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts, who said his order on those migrants still stands even after the high court lifted his broader decision.

The majority wrote that their decision on 23 June completely halted Murphy’s ruling and also rendered his decision on the South Sudan flight “unenforceable”. The court did not fully detail its legal reasoning on the underlying case, as is common on its emergency docket. Two liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented, saying the ruling gives the government special treatment. “Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the supreme court on speed dial,” Sotomayor wrote.

What hope is there for the world? They will be at war to destroy everything left of liberal democracy. Subjugation to the right wing authoritarian government and to “traditional values” will be the order of the day.

There are ONLY THREE rule of law justices on SCOTUS: Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson.

Sending them to their home country would be deporting, to another country is trafficing!
Am I right?

I remember before the election we had talking heads telling us the courts had held and provided guard rails. Well, that's finished, so it's time to move past that pretence. We're fucked.

I will not hide his name for this post. He deserves any backlash that can possibly occur. I’m not sure if he realizes that he is not among the favored races in an America. If someone called ICE on him, I bet the fact that he’s a US citizen would be irrelevant and he could be taken to South Sudan himself….especially since he’s left wing on one issue - he decries the “crimes against humanity” committed in Gaza. He’s not religious, but he still feels a cultural connection to side with the Palestinians. Pretty typical for a right wing thug to take the left’s side when they are personally affected.

I wonder how she'd feel if they decided to call for her adopted Haitian children should be deported as punishment for her "sins" against them?

by writing the majority opinion that limited "universal" (nationwide) injunctions - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143486803

(and this was despite the fact that during the 4 years of Biden, the GOP "judge shopped" by sending their cases into 5th Circuit districts in order to GET a "nationwide injunction" against Biden Executive actions - and in some cases, had to withdraw and refile their case because they had no jurisdiction, and had to find someone to be a co-plaintiff who lived in that district who was "harmed" ).

The article did not say whether or not it was a 7 to 2 decision. She's done it before.
