The Supreme Court in a 7-2 decision on Thursday ruled that the Trump administration is not obliged to keep eight citizens in temporary confinement in a US military installation in Djibouti, while a legal battle over its status develops, cleaning the way for removal to South Sudan, a country with which men do not have tits.
The immigrants in question, who were convicted of violent crimes, received removal notices from the United States to the Eastern Africa from South Sudan, but after the United States district judge, Brian Murphy, blocked the attempted administration attempt to deport the group without giving them enough opportunity to dispute their dismissal, the group has been in the legal imbo.
In an inexplicable decision last week, the Supreme Court lifted the court order of Judge Murphy, allowing the deportation of migrants to third countries without additional due requirements that Murphy had imposed.
Subsequently, Judge Murphy said that he specifically believed that the eight men in Djibouti, who sued to challenge their removal, remained protected from being sent to South Sudan under a previous order he had issued.
The Trump administration attacked Murphy as exhibiting “challenge” of the Supreme Court and requested clarifications. The Thursday’s ruling of the Superior Court granted the desire of the administration.
The decision is another victory for the Trump administration and its unprecedented effort to deport immigrants to countries with which they have no ties and where they can face abuse.

In an unmarked opinion, the Court explained that, since he lifted the requirements of due process imposed by the judge for the removals of the third country last month, the government can no longer be considered to account for allegedly violating the requirements.
“I do not see how a district court can force the fulfillment of an order that this court has remained,” wrote liberal judge Elena Kagan in a brief concurrence with conservative judges.
Judges Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan disagreed.
“Today’s order clarifies only one thing: other litigants must follow the rules, but the Administration has the Supreme Court in Dial Speed,” Sotomayor wrote.
