 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007.

 US officials deport Asian migrants to South Sudan


US immigration officials have begun deporting about 12 South Asian migrants to South Sudan, according to a court filing and media reports.


Immigration lawyers learned from a detention officer's email that a Burmese national, identified as "N.M." was "removed...to South Sudan", they wrote in a filing seeking the court's intervention and the return of the migrants. 


A second migrant, a Vietnamese national identified as T.T.P. in the filing, "appears to have suffered the same fate" along with at least 10 others, AFP reported.


The removal violates an earlier order, the lawyers said, noting they had last filed an emergency motion on May 7, after media reports indicated immigration officials were seeking to deport N.M. and others to Libya and Saudia Arabia.


The court had sided with plaintiffs and "the men were ultimately transported back to an immigration detention center after remaining on a bus on the base's tarmac for three or four hours", the filing said.


The filing also noted that a flawed peace deal in South Sudan collapsed this week, and N.M. is being flown "into a country that is now returning to full-blown and catastrophic civil war".


The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


In early April, the Trump administration banned visas for South Sudanese nationals, as part of Presidend Donald Trump's ever-broadening anti-immigration platform.


The Republican president has said the United States faces an "invasion" by "foreign criminals". 


In February, Trump invoked rarely used wartime legislation to fly some 250 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador without any court hearings, alleging they belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang, a charge that their families and lawyers deny.
