A judge says a deportation fight originally bound for South Sudan won't be completing the trip right away even after a divided Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to start swiftly deporting immigrants to countries they aren't from.

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to take up the case of a Rastafarian man seeking to sue prison officials in Louisiana who cut off his dreadlocks while he was incarcerated.

The high court took on a new religious case over a former Louisiana inmate of Rastafarian belief whose dreadlocks were cut off by prison officials, but only after after a lower court "emphatically" condemned it.
