"the court’s conservative majority"

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 decision comes after the court’s conservative majority found that immigration officials can quickly deport people to third countries. The majority halted an order that had allowed immigrants to challenge any removals to countries outside their homeland where they could be in danger.
The court’s latest order makes clear that the South Sudan flight detoured weeks ago can now complete the trip. It reverses findings from federal Judge Brian Murphy in Massachusetts, who said his order on those migrants still stands even after the high court lifted his broader decision.
The majority wrote that their decision on June 23 completely halted Murphy’s ruling and also rendered his decision on the South Sudan flight “unenforceable.” The court did not fully detail its legal reasoning on the underlying case, as is common on its emergency docket.

"Justice Elena Kagan, who dissented previously, this time issued a concurring opinion. “I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this court has stayed,” she wrote."
Sudan is nice this time of year.../s
A lawless act of defiance.
“After the Supreme Court lifted Murphy’s April injunction on June 23, the judge promptly ruled that his May 21 order “remains in full force and effect.” Calling that ruling by the judge a “lawless act of defiance,” the Justice Department the next day urged the Supreme Court to clarify that its action applied to Murphy’s May 21 decision as well. “
I would think that once word gets around, self-deportations _should_ dramatically increase... better to choose your own fate than to have it determined for you, eh?
I’m guessing most of these illegals will have a change of heart and decide they’d like to go back to their own country, after all.
AP is horrified.
Apparently they see something wrong with South Sudan. Got to be racism.
“You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.”
…” 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. “ …
They had no ties here
Winning is more fun than losing...
Too much winning is better than too much losing...
Hopefully, the GOP will permanently change its spots and become “winning” freaks...
Ok well do they have ties to o the US?
Illegals have a choice of self-deporting home now or a sunny vacation in South Sudan later. Might be better to go back to Mexico now.
I mean who wouldn’t want an all expenses paid trip to beautiful South Sudan?

so, what is the attraction to south sudan anyway?
prison ala el savaldor?
or are they just dropped in the desert and turned loose?
Plus they will add a little diversity to South Sudan. Since “diversity is our strength”, we are obligated to share it. Aren’t we?
Pharmacies might have trouble keeping Xanax in stock after today.
First, they are illegal aliens. Not immigrants. Second, there surely is some deterrence here, if an illegal who wants to slip in from Mexico thinks he might wind up in Somalia, he might think twice, and do things legally...
South Sudan agreed to take them and look after them in return for a little cash. You know, sort of like Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services did when we imported Somalis.
South Sudan’s police spokesperson, Maj. Gen. James Monday Enoka, told The Associated Press that no migrants had arrived and if they did, they would be investigated and “redeported to their correct country” if not South Sudanese.
Great news.
