The Justice Department returned to the Supreme Court Tuesday to ask the justices to clarify their order allowing deportations of illegal immigrants to “third countries” for now, one day after a district judge said a group of illegal immigrants were still barred from being deported to South Sudan despite the high court’s order.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to clear the way for the deportation of several immigrants to South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties.

The conservative majority set aside the rulings of a judge who said the detained men deserved a 'meaningful opportunity' to object to being sent to a strange country where they may be tortured or abused.
