Supreme Court Allows Trump Governance to Deport Men to South Sudan Despite Risks
Washington D.C. – July 4, 2025 – In a controversial move, the Supreme Court has authorized the Trump administration to proceed with the deportation of eight men to war-torn South Sudan, even though most have no prior connection to the country [[source]]. This decision follows a recent ruling granting immigration officials broader authority to swiftly deport individuals to countries with tenuous links, effectively pausing protections against deportation to places where torture, persecution, or death are likely.
The eight men, hailing from Vietnam, South Korea, Mexico, Laos, Cuba, and Myanmar – with onyl one originating from South Sudan – have all been convicted of serious crimes and were facing orders of removal [[source]].Many had completed or were nearing the completion of their sentences.
dissenting Justices Condemn Decision
The ruling was met with sharp dissent from Justices Sonia sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, who accused the court of granting the administration preferential treatment. Justice Sotomayor stated the decision allows the government to “send…noncitizens…to South Sudan, where they will be turned over to the local authorities without regard for the likelihood that they will face torture or death” [[source]].She further criticized the situation, stating, “Today’s order clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial.”
Administration Seeks Deportation Deals
This case is part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to secure agreements with various nations to accept deportees who cannot be instantly returned to their countries of origin [[source]].
Concerns for Safety Upon Arrival
Lawyers representing the men warn of the perilous conditions they may face in south Sudan, including potential immediate detention [[source]]. The decision raises serious questions about human rights and the duty of the United States to protect individuals from potential harm, even those with criminal records.
