** A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration must keep tabs on immigrants deported to South Sudan while legal battles over their removals play out. Essentially, the government can’t just deport people and forget about them—it now has to track their status and safety in a country facing serious instability.
What This Means: ** This isn’t just bureaucratic red tape—it’s about accountability. South Sudan is dealing with violence and humanitarian crises, so deporting people there without oversight could put lives at risk. The ruling forces the administration to at least monitor what happens to these individuals, which could set a precedent for how deportations to unstable regions are handled in the future. It’s a check on executive power, and for advocates, a small but meaningful win.
