US Deports 8 Illegal Migrants to South Sudan

“After weeks of delays by activist judges that put our law enforcement in danger, ICE deported these 8 barbaric criminal illegal aliens who are so heinous even their own countries will not accept them,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated on social media platform X Saturday. “This was a win for the rule of law, safety and security of the American people.”

Commenting on the ruling, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin accused Murphy of siding with “barbaric criminal illegal aliens” in his previous ruling, and expressed relief over the recent decision allowing the deportations to move forward.

“We will continue to fight for the freedoms of Americans while these far left activists continue to try and force us to bring murderers, pedophiles, and rapists back to the U.S.,” McLaughlin stated on X. “Today, law and order prevails.”

Jennie Pasquarella, a lawyer with the Seattle Clemency Project representing the illegal immigrants, called the ruling disappointing and said the plaintiffs are not planning to file an appeal.

Pasquarella said that no court would hear their claim that the Trump administration was unconstitutionally using deportation to dangerous countries as a form of punishment, on top of the criminal sentences they have already served.

“Both courts’ decisions today have denied them their opportunity to have these claims heard and to protect their own lives. That is what is so tragic about where we came out,” the lawyer said.
