Washington (AFP) – The US Supreme Court on Thursday gave the green light for the Trump administration to deport a group of migrants stranded at an American military base in Djibouti to war-torn South Sudan.

The case revolved around the Trump administration’s challenge against multiple nationwide injunctions against the president’s Day One order to end birthright citizenship.

In a second order, the court ruled that, for now, the Department of Government Efficiency does not have to hand over internal records to a watchdog group.

The Trump administration had for weeks resisted court orders to facilitate Abrego García’s return to the United States.

The justices did not address the broader question about whether Trump officials can legally invoke the Alien Enemies Act to target alleged gang members.
