The Trump administration deported eight illegal immigrants to South Sudan on Saturday after a federal judge cleared the way on Friday.

“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.”
