WASHINGTON — Eight migrants with violent criminal convictions detained by the feds will be sent to South Sudan following a legal skirmish in two separate federal jurisdictions trying to halt their deportation.
Lawyers for the migrants filed another lawsuit on July 4 in Washington, DC, to pause their flight to the African nation after the Supreme Court ruled against them Thursday as part of an earlier suit that determined the Trump administration could proceed with the removals.
DC District Court Judge Randolph Moss, in response to the most recent suit, temporarily blocked the flight Friday — but shifted it back to the jurisdiction where the earlier lawsuit was filed in Boston.
Boston US District Judge Brian Murphy denied the request Friday, noting the high court’s decision allowing the flight to continue to South Sudan — despite having issued a May 21 order initially grounding it in Djibouti.
That order was stayed by the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision last month that will let the Trump administration resume deporting migrants to countries other than their home nation — so-called “third countries” — with limited notice.
Murphy had still insisted that his injunction against the South Sudan deportations remained in “full force and effect,” prompting the latest clarification by the high court on Thursday.
Department of Justice attorneys in the Fourth of July hearings in DC said the flights were scheduled to depart Camp Lemonnier, a US Navy base where the migrants had been held for weeks, at 7 p.m. EST.
The migrants — all men who hailed from Cuba, Mexico, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and Sudan — had been convicted of crimes including armed robbery, drug trafficking and sexual assault. Four are convicted murderers.

“...Four are convicted murderers...”
I would not mind if South Sudan implemented torture on their serial killer prisoners. Randolph Moss should be sent to South Sudan as well. He can be a judge in cell block 9, after his brain is lobotomized. /spit
Migrants??? ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINAL INVADERS,
These guys are obviously the “cream of the crop”.
They need them in the USA. There are openings in DNC. 🤣
But, seriously, why South Sudan?
Can somebody enlighten me?
Pour encourager les autres
Reminds me of that young black soldier who defected to North Korea where they promptly spit him back out. He could be sent there and continue to collect his army private pay while administering the program. Cheaper than the brig.
South Sudan is getting money in return for taking them in. Sort of like Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities got for importing Somalis into Maine and Minnesota.
Now that the big beautiful bill has been signed, I’d like the senate to concentrate on appointing judges. I think that should be priority for next few months until the budget bill in October needs done.

ROTFLOL!
the cowardly Moss didn’t want to cross SCOTUS and was hoping Murhphy would do that bit of dirty work for him ...
I think, that jail in El Salvador is a lot safer.
South Sudan is such a ... country that I am afraid they will get away and even maybe take over?!
Some deportees might want to reconsider going to Cecot in El Salvador or even Gitmo rather than being sent to southern Sudan.
And....they’re gone!
