From Daily MailMore than a dozen ICE officers alongside a group of eight migrants that had been placed on a deportation flight originally bound for South Sudan are now being held in a converted shipping container on a US naval base in Djibouti in the stifling heat, in horrendous conditions.

The men and their guards are dealing with baking hot temperatures, smoke from nearby burn pits and the looming threat of rocket attacks, the Trump administration said.

Neither the officers or migrants can leave the container until the matter has been resolved by the courts, which could take weeks.


Authorities landed the flight in Djibouti after US District Judge Brian E. Murphy ruled that the Trump administration had violated his order when they deported eight migrants from Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Mexico, and South Sudan to the east African nation.

All eight men are accused of being convicted criminals including crimes such as murderers and sexual abusers. The judge ruled that the men must have a real chance to raise fears about the dangers they could face in South Sudan.
