Djibouti: The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to proceed with the deportation of a group of migrants with criminal records who are being held at a U.S. naval base in Djibouti. This decision clarifies the earlier ruling that removed restrictions on deportations to countries that are not the migrants’ countries of origin. These individuals, who come from Latin America and Asia and have been convicted of serious crimes in the U.S., have been held at the Djibouti base for several weeks following an order from Murphy for the Department of Homeland Security to keep them in custody. The Trump administration has reported concerning and hazardous conditions for the personnel assigned to guard these men in Djibouti, citing issues such as malaria, rocket attacks, insufficient security measures, and extremely high outdoor temperatures.
- Lord, we pray for the safety and protection of the personnel guarding the migrants in Djibouti and for effective measures to mitigate the hazardous conditions they face (The Holy Bible, Psalms 9:9).
- Lord, we pray for the decision-makers involved in these deportations to be guided by compassion and justice, considering the dignity and humanity of each individual affected by these policies (The Holy Bible, Isaiah 1:17).
