The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for the deportation of eight migrants to South Sudan, overturning a lower court ruling that allowed them to challenge their removal. The migrants, held at a US military base in Djibouti, originate from various countries including Vietnam, South Korea, Mexico, Laos, Cuba, and Myanmar, with only one being from South Sudan. This decision allows the Trump-era policy of deporting individuals to countries where they may face danger to proceed, despite concerns about their lack of ties to South Sudan and the ongoing conflict in the region.
