US officials must keep control of migrants sent to South Sudan in case removals were unlawful: judge By LINDSAY WHITEHURST AP Wednesday, May 21, 2025 7:37AM The U.S. State Department’s annual report on South Sudan, published in April 2024, says “significant human rights issues” include arbitrary killings, disappearances, torture or inhumane treatment by security forces and extensive violence based on gender and sexual identity.
Law and order.
The New Republic – Hafiz Rashid / May 21, 2025 Judge Rips Trump Admin Over Secret Deportations to South Sudan Trump is breaking court orders as he pleases. Murphy called for an emergency hearing only one day after learning in court from immigration attorneys that the Trump administration had sent two immigrants, one Vietnamese and the other Burmese, to South Sudan without any justification, and without giving them the chance to contest their deportation out of concern for their own safety. South Sudan is in the midst of violence and political unrest, with the State Department warning Americans not to visit. Despite the Department of Homeland Security releasing the names and photographs of many of the people on the deportation flights before the hearing, the government still told Murphy that information about them was too sensitive to disclose in open court. The Trump administration has routinely flouted court orders over its immigration policies, even when the Supreme Court ordered the government to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom even administration lawyers admitted was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. The White House continues to send immigrants to countries where they aren’t from, such as Rwanda, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Panama, and openly refuses to respond to any judicial oversight. Administration officials like Secretary of State Marco Rubio even scoff at court orders that rebuke the administration.
Are people still using the term “constitutional crisis” or did the fancy people abandon that phrase now?
