Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the deportation of several immigrants who were put on a flight in May bound for South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties.

The move clears the way for the deportation of eight men being held in a detention center at a U.S. naval base in East Africa to conflict-ridden South Sudan.

The conservative-leaning Supreme Court has allowed the United States to deport eight migrants being held at a military base in Djibouti to war-torn South Sudan.
