President Donald Trump's administration deported eight immigrants to South Sudan, a dangerous country where most of the men have no ties, the Department of Homeland Security said Saturday.

The move clears the way for the deportation of eight men being held in a detention center at a U.S. naval base in East Africa to conflict-ridden South Sudan.

After the Supreme Court ruled that the deportations could move forward, a last-ditch attempt to block them with a new lawsuit faltered.
