Supreme Court lets Trump admin deport men detained in shipping container for 6 weeks to South Sudan

[In It to Win It]

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport eight men to South Sudan who have been detained in a shipping container on a U.S. military base in Djibouti for six weeks after becoming caught up in a legal tug-of-war between the White House and a federal judge in Boston.

By an apparent 7-2 vote, the justices lifted an order from U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy that had blocked the men’s deportation. Murphy took that step despite a Supreme Court ruling last week that put a hold on an earlier, nationwide injunction he issued requiring the administration to give deportees advance notice of their destination and a “meaningful” chance to object if they believed they’d be in danger there.

The Trump administration accused Murphy of defying the Supreme Court, and the Justice Department rushed back to the high court asking for a “clarification” that would effectively green-light the deportation of the men.

1. They will never stop him at anything

I just don’t know how much more it’s gonna take for people to realize where we are at.

We are at a point where the law and the constitution and the Supreme Court and the Department of justice and the FBI no longer are viable institutions that follow the law. They’re out to kill us, yes, actually kill us.

7. If their country won't accept any deportations, they should be able to stay permanently in the US.
