The US has deported eight men to South Sudan following a legal battle that reached the Supreme Court. The justices overturned a lower court's ruling that would have allowed the men to challenge their removal, clearing the way for their deportation.

The Supreme Court's decision sets a precedent that could limit avenues for others to fight deportation, raising concerns about due process. For South Sudan, a country still grappling with instability, the return of deportees adds another layer of challenge. It’s a tough reminder of how legal battles can shape lives in deeply personal ways.
