Three Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are reportedly stranded in Djibouti.
According to a
source, the trio of agents was left behind along with eight migrants convicted of various crimes — ranging from murder and assault to arson and robbery — after a United States federal judge halted the illegal immigrants' deportation to South Sudan.

According to the New York Post, the agents and the convicts are currently residing in harsh living conditions. The migrants are being held in a Conex shipping container on a US naval base where the officers keep tabs on them.
According to a Department of Homeland Security insider, people on the trip "began to feel ill within 72 hours of landing in Djibouti" because they were not given anti-malaria medication in advance of their unexpected detour. (They received meds two days after they arrived in Djibouti.)
To make matters worse, the naval base is a potential target of rocket strikes from Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
The flight was grounded on the way to Sudan after U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy from Boston ruled against the deportations on May 22.
"It is outrageous that this judge is putting the health and safety of law enforcement officers at risk for the sake of criminals," an insider said.

Only one of the eight migrants being
deported from America is from South Sudan.
The other seven are from Mexico, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cuba and Laos.
According to
Donald Trump and his administration, these individuals committed "monstrous and barbaric" crimes while on U.S. soil, and no country other than South Sudan would take them.

After Judge Brian Murphy ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to deport the criminal migrants to South Sudan, Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to overturn the decision. But SCOUTS hasn't made a final decision on the matter yet.
"This case addresses the government's ability to remove some of the worst of the worst illegal immigrants," Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in a May 27 emergency appeal. "The United States is facing a crisis of illegal immigration, in no small part because many aliens most deserving of removal are often the hardest to remove."
