Earlier this week, six conservative Supreme Court judges ruled that while the case is ongoing in lower courts, the Trump administration can temporarily resume the rapid deportation of immigrants to third-party countries they have no connection to. Trump officials soon announced they would challenge the lower court’s injunction. They prevented the eight men from being deported and are now housed in a modified shipping container at an air base in Djibouti. South Sudana country where seven of the eight detainees had no links.
Eight men in Djibouti represent the low fruit for a regime succumbing to the threat of physical and mental harm to immigrants. They are from Myanmar, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Mexico and one of them is South Sudan. All have been convicted of violent crimes, according to the administration. In other words, they are unlikely to cause many common sympathies, and as a result, they are a complete laboratory test for the asylum policy and executive power theory of grotesque new outcasts.
Later last month, the eight men had virtually no prior notice and virtually no notification to the transport, and flew to Djibouti at their final destination in South Sudan. They remained on the Djibouti frontier as a Boston judge intervened and issued an injunction against the deportation into South Sudan. There, for the past month, they have been kept 24 hours a day by a list of DHS agents.
Now, the administration wants to quickly track deportation into one of the poorest and most violent countries on the planet.
There’s literally no Good reason to deport these men to South Sudan. On a scale of 100 to zero, worlddata.com Give the country zero for civil rights and health, which awards the country 92 (listed as “devastating”) on the corruption index. surely, U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Center South Sudan cites having “kreptocratic dynamics,” reporting that it is “regularly ranked at or near the bottom of the international corruption index. Corruption is systematic at all levels of government, pervasive in almost every economic sector, and perpetrators enjoy widespread immunity.”
South Sudan’s average per capita income is $460 a year, with the overall economy’s total GDP of just $3 billion, which is about one in 10,000 of the US GDP. Elon Musk was able to buy the country 150 times and still came out first. More than one in five people in South Sudan suffer from HIV/AIDS, and one in 40 people suffer from tuberculosis.
The World Health Organization estimates that Average life expectancy South Sudan has only been inhabited by 58 years. After independence from Sudan, South Sudan fell into a civil war year in 2011. And although the conflict has now officially ended, Diplomatic Council Communist violence is ongoing and reports that “the country is suffering from one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.” Due to the prevalence of inducements and armed conflict, the Department of State said:Don’t travel” South Sudan’s recommendations list travelers as level 4 (highest warning level) because of the possibility that they will experience extreme violence.
This is the country where Trump will deport immigrants. It is surprising how the Supreme Court appears to be comfortable giving this idea its condemnation.
With her scathing opposition, Judge Sonia Sotomayor “The government has made it clear in its own right and with words and actions that it felt unrestricted by law and that anyone could freely deport the country without notice or hearing,” he wrote. She went on to say that as a result, Supreme Court intervention in the case could lead to “expose thousands of people to the risk of torture and death.”
Within hours of the award, DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin After confirming these fears, it sparkled that the time has come to “firing deportation planes.”
All this is done in the name of the Americans. Ours name. This is a deliberate deportation of immigrants calculated to the way they do harm. There is no other explanation as to why the administration is sending someone to South Sudan. It is using heinous conditions to terrorize immigrants to either freely deny them to the United States or not. It is also perhaps the use of these heinous conditions to further dehumanize immigrants. After all, it seems unlikely that the court would allow US citizens to be sent to places the State Department has identified as essentially equivalent to one of Dante’s hellish circles. In the case of the court do It permanently allows immigrants to be sent there, but doesn’t it justify the Magai deology that they are less and less entitled than others of ours, and are otherwise infringing on conditions that are non-infringable? It is not much different to what they used to ghettoise Jews, demonize them further, and demonize them further, and demonize their humanity further about the lice-covered bodies and clothes, their filthy appearance, and the poverty of their manifesto after spending months in those ghettos.

Last week, as I headed to my hotel in New York City, my taxi driver continued to switch radios from the right and right talking head to the next distance. Each focused on lasers on undocumented immigrants, each with more bile than last time. Kristi Noem was reading aloud the PSA, denounceting an undocumented immigrant, a sequence of blood-hugging crimes. There was someone else talking about rapists and pedophile immigrants. Someone was blaming about immigrants receiving jobs and benefits from Americans.
For them, immigration is a bad person. Bound together in aircraft, flying in half the world, everything will be dropped off in a violent country that conspires not only with the chance of success but also with the prospect of survival. For them, all undocumented immigrants, like most of them, are hopeless rather than the average people trying to ensure safety, education and opportunity, decent wages and a clean environment, and a stable food supply for themselves and their families.
One of these opinion shapers did not refer to America’s illustrious heritage as a country of physical and mental size sufficient to welcome millions of immigrants. No one recognized the overwhelming economic and cultural benefits immigrants have brought over the centuries.
“I want to tire me out, the poor, your secretly flocked masses to breathe freely…and I’ll give them a one-way ticket to the latest circle of Dante’s Hell.” There’s no exact same ring as the original “New Colossus” poem, but I’m worried that they’ll be more honest with the state of things in America in 2025.
