The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the the Trump administration to deport to South Sudan a group of migrants that have been held for weeks on a military base in Djibouti.

South Sudanese authorities say that eight men deported from the United States are now in government custody in the African country.

A federal judge in Washington is briefly blocking the deportation of eight immigrants to war-torn South Sudan the day after the Supreme Court permitted it to go forward.
