The Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport a group of migrants with criminal records held at a U.S. base in Djibouti; the administration says they'll be sent to South Sudan.

The Supreme Court says the Trump administration can remove eight noncitizens it moved to deport to South Sudan from where they are being held temporarily in Djibouti.

A countdown is on for a plane of eight immigration detainees to be flown from a US Naval base in Djibouti to the war-torn country of South Sudan tonight. Lawyers for the migrants are rushing to a federal court in Massachusetts Friday afternoon to try to block the plane from taking off.
