Eight men were deported from the United States to South Sudan after a lengthy legal battle over their immigration status. The group, whose identities were not disclosed, arrived in Juba, South Sudan’s capital, on Tuesday after being removed from the US following a series of court rulings.
The men had been involved in legal proceedings in the US to avoid deportation, citing fears of persecution and human rights abuses if they were sent back to South Sudan. However, their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, and they were flown back to their home country under the custody of US immigration authorities.
The deportations have sparked concerns from human rights groups, who argue that returning individuals to South Sudan could put their lives at risk due to the ongoing conflict and instability in the country. According to the US government, the individuals had completed the legal process for their removal, and their return was in line with immigration policies.
South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, has been plagued by civil war and political instability since gaining independence from Sudan in 2011. The country continues to face challenges related to conflict, human rights abuses, and lack of basic services.
The deportation of the eight men is seen as a test case for how the US will handle similar situations in the future, as immigration authorities work to enforce immigration laws while also considering the safety and well-being of individuals facing deportation.
