The Trump Administration deported eight migrants, including only one from South Sudan, a conflict-ridden nation. Their families have not heard from them since their deportation. The Supreme Court approved the deportations, leading to concerns among human-rights organizations about the potential for increased deportations to countries that pose risks of violence and torture. Subsequent ICE guidance indicated that deportations could continue if a foreign country provides credible assurances against torture. Due process remains a critical legal requirement preventing arbitrary removals.
Earlier this month, the Trump Administration deported eight migrants to South Sudan, a country beset by conflict and extreme hunger. Only one of the men, who have all been convicted of violent crimes, is from South Sudan, and their families have reportedly not heard from them since their arrival in that country.
The Supreme Court allowed their deportations to proceed, which has raised concerns from human-rights organizations that the Administration would begin deporting more people to third countries where they could be at risk of violence and torture.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released internal guidance explaining that when a foreign country has offered 'credible diplomatic assurances' about keeping detainees from being tortured, deportations can move forward.
The requirement that before someone is ordered removed, they get due process is the first thing stopping the Trump Administration from picking up non-citizens off the street and sending them to any country of their choosing.
