The Trump administration faced backlash for its decision to send migrants with deportation orders to Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, rather than a U.S. facility after a judge barred their deportation to South Sudan. Critics highlight the dire conditions at the naval base, where the migrants have faced health risks and unsafe environments. Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin blamed the situation on the judge's ruling, but experts like Aaron Reichlin-Melnick emphasized that the administration had actively made the choice to send them there. This incident reflects ongoing tensions between government actions and judicial rulings in immigration policy.
