This is shocking.
Supreme Court Backs Trump Plan to Deport Criminal Migrants to South Sudan
In a powerful win for President Trump’s immigration crackdown, eight convicted criminal migrants are now being deported to South Sudan, despite coordinated legal challenges from left-leaning activist groups trying to block the removals.
These migrants—men from Cuba, Mexico, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Sudan—have been found guilty of serious violent crimes, including armed robbery, drug trafficking, sexual assault, and even murder. All eight had exhausted their legal appeals or failed to contest their final deportation orders.
Legal Hurdles Crumble After Supreme Court Ruling
After a series of legal maneuvers in Washington, D.C., and Boston aimed at stopping the deportations, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a decisive 6-3 vote that the Trump administration could move forward. The court’s ruling allows the U.S. government to deport migrants to so-called “third countries”—not just their countries of origin—with limited notice.
Even liberal Justice Elena Kagan acknowledged that the high court’s stay overruled previous lower court decisions attempting to halt the process. “I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this Court has stayed,” she wrote in a concurring opinion.
Homeland Security: Public Safety Comes First
“These individuals committed horrific crimes and pose a threat to public safety,” said Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security. “Their removal is a victory for the rule of law and for every American family who deserves to live without fear.”
The men were being held at Camp Lemonnier, a U.S. Navy base in Djibouti, awaiting a flight scheduled for July 4. The Biden-era policy of halting deportations was reversed under Trump, as his administration continues its focus on border security and national safety.
Left-Wing Lawyers Claim Deportation Is ‘Cruel’
Attorneys representing the migrants argued that sending them to South Sudan—a country recovering from years of civil war—amounts to “cruel and unusual punishment” under the Constitution. But officials from the Department of Homeland Security responded that these crimes were so “monstrous and barbaric” that few nations were willing to accept the offenders.
At one point, a federal judge in Boston issued an order grounding the flight, leaving ICE agents and migrants stranded in Djibouti without access to malaria medication and under the threat of nearby rocket attacks from Houthi militants. That order was later struck down by the Supreme Court.
Restoring Law and Order: A Key 2024 Priority
This case underscores President Trump’s clear commitment to protecting the American people by removing dangerous criminal aliens from U.S. soil—regardless of legal theatrics from open-border advocacy groups.
As Trump continues to prioritize strong borders, national sovereignty, and lawful immigration, many Americans see this ruling as a step toward restoring sanity in a system overwhelmed by criminal aliens and bureaucratic roadblocks.
Bottom Line: Criminal migrants with violent pasts are being deported under President Trump’s leadership—despite fierce resistance from activist judges and far-left attorneys. It’s a win for the Constitution, for national security, and for every law-abiding American.
