Eight men who were deported from the United States in May have arrived in South Sudan after being held in Djibouti during ongoing legal challenges. The men's transfer was permitted by the Supreme Court after a federal judge had temporarily blocked their deportation. All eight individuals had been convicted of violent crimes in the U.S. Homeland Security praised the relocation as a victory for law and order, despite the dangers present in South Sudan, a country facing potential civil conflict and advised against travel by the State Department.
Eight men deported from the U.S. in May and held in Djibouti have now been relocated to South Sudan, a nation advised against travel due to danger.
The Supreme Court cleared the way for the transfer of men convicted of violent crimes, stating that immigration officials can deport individuals quickly to third countries.
Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin stated the arrival of the men in South Sudan was a win for the rule of law, safety, and security of Americans.
The flight carrying the men was initially diverted to a base in Djibouti due to a federal judge's finding of previous order violations regarding legal challenges.
