Eight Immigrants Expelled from U.S. Transferred to South Sudan After SCOTUS Ruling

HeadlineJul 07, 2025

Eight men removeda from the U.S. in May were handed over to South Sudan Friday after the Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration can transfer expelled immigrants to third countries with which they have no ties. The men had been held in limbo on a U.S. military base in Djibouti after a lower court judge ruled they should not be sent to South Sudan, a country the U.N. warns could be on the brink of another civil war. Only one of the eight individuals is from South Sudan; the others are from Latin American and Asian countries.
