“Americans take for granted that even if a person is convicted of a crime, he or she cannot be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, much less torture. Nor can anyone be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process. These rights are guaranteed by the Eighth, Fifth, and 14th Amendments. They apply to all persons in the U.S. — including undocumented immigrants, as the Supreme Court has reaffirmed …. So how is it that these eight men now find themselves, not just deported to a country they have no ties to (again, only one is South Sudanese), with little or no meaningful opportunity to legally challenge their removal, but to a country experiencing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world? And why would the Supreme Court so summarily lift a lower court order temporarily barring their removal, not once but twice?” (07/18/25)
