The Trump administration completes the controversial deportation to South Sudan Donald Trump News star-news.press/wp

After the legal battle, we send the United States eight detainees to the country, and it advised citizens not to visit it because of “crime and conflict.”

The United States confirmed that it had completed the deportation of eight men to South Sudan, a day after a US judge was cleared by the administration of President Donald Trump to send them to the African country that is hit by violence.

The Ministry of Internal Security (DHS) said on Saturday that men were deported one day before, on the day of American Independence on Friday, after they lost a legal offer at the last minute to stop their transfer.

The eight detainees – immigrants from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, South Sudan and Vietnam were held under guard at an American military base in Djibouti for weeks.

One of the employees working at Juba Airport in South Sudan told Reuters news agency that the plane carrying men had arrived on Saturday at 6 am local time (04:00 GMT). Their current location is unknown.

In a statement, DHS said that the eight men were convicted of a set of crimes, including first -degree killing, theft, drug trafficking and sexual assault.

Their field has become a flash point in the ongoing legal battles on the Trump deportation campaign for collective deportation, including removal of the so -called “third countries” where rights groups say that the deportees face the risks of safety and potential violations.

“This deportation in the third country is wrong, for a while. The United States should not send people to a craft war zone.”

The eight men have been detained in a transformer shipping container in Djibouti since late May, when the courts stopped a previous deportation trip to southern Sudan due to the concerns of due legal procedures.

The United States Supreme Court ruled twice that the Trump administration could deport them to countries outside its homelands, which issued its latest decision on Thursday (Pdf).

On the same night, the eight detainees made an appeal, on the pretext that their “unintended punitive” deportation to southern Sudan would violate the American constitution, which prohibits “the harsh and unusual punishment.”

But Judge Brian Murphy from Boston, whose rulings previously stopped efforts to start deportation to the African country, stated on Friday evening that the Supreme Court had linked his hands, which led to the purification of the path to move forward.

On Saturday, the Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of National Security, Tricia McLulin, praised the removal operations as a “victory for the rule of law, safety and security for the American people.”

The US State Department advises citizens not to travel to South Sudan because of “crime, kidnapping and armed conflict.”

The United Nations has also warned that the political crisis that destroys the African state could indicate a brutal civil war that ended in 2018.

Last week, Blin Boki, the legal director at the California’s Law and Refugee Center, San Francisco, condemned the United States to deport to the third countries.

“The increasing management of the process of transferring the third country in the face of legal procedures, international legal obligations of the United States, and the basic principles of human elegance,” Boki said in a statement.
