The Supreme Court has allowed the government of the US President, Donald Trump on Monday, to resume the expulsions of immigrants to third countries such as Sudan from the South and El Salvador, which is a victory for the White House and its mass deportation campaign.
The decision of the highest court suspends the order of a federal judge who kept the deportation of eight immigrants to South Sudan, within which there are two Cubans and a Mexican.
In a brief order not signed, the Supreme Court suspended the order of the federal judge Brian Murphy, of Massachusetts, which last month determined that the Trump administration violated an order that prevented him from deporting the eight immigrants to a country where they can be tortured without giving the opportunity to an adequate legal defense.
Due to the judgment of Judge Murphy, the eight immigrants and eleven migratory agents remain in an air base in Yibuti, where, according to government lawyers, they were in danger for being exposed to a possible Yemen attack, in addition to risks to their health due to “deplorable” conditions.
In his allegation in front of the Supreme, the Trump government said that immigrants sent to third countries committed “monstrous” crimes and that their own countries had not wanted to receive them.
Of the eight deportees, only one is from South Sudan and the rest are originally from Cuba, Mexico, Laos, Burma and Vietnam.
US legislation stipulates that the government cannot deport migrants to third countries where they could be tortured or at risk.
The State Department considers South Sudan as a dangerous country due to the armed conflict, recommends that Americans not travel there and the beginning of May withdrew their non -essential personnel from the country.
The case of South Sudan is the most recent clash between the Republican government and the Judiciary, following the increasingly aggressive measures to comply with Trump’s promise to carry out “mass deportations.”
To accelerate deportations, Washington is looking for agreements with other countries to accept migrants expelled from the country.
The Trump government ordered to send more than 200 people to a Megacárcel in El Salvador, where most still remain incommunicado of their relatives and lawyers.
Trump and his Salvadoran counterpart, Nayib Bukele, reached an agreement – which has not been shown to the public – so that the Central American country receives migrants for an initial period of one year in exchange for a payment of 6 million dollars.
