Eight men were deported from the United States to South Sudan on Thursday following a lengthy legal battle. The individuals, whose identities have not been disclosed, were flown from Alexandria, Louisiana to Juba on a chartered plane accompanied by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
The decision to deport the men came after years of legal wrangling over their immigration status. According to ICE, the individuals had all completed sentences for various criminal convictions in the U.S. and were determined to be in the country illegally. Efforts by immigration advocates and lawyers to prevent their deportation were unsuccessful.
The move has sparked mixed reactions, with immigration rights groups criticizing the deportation as inhumane. They argue that sending individuals back to South Sudan, a country grappling with conflict and economic instability, puts their lives at risk. On the other hand, supporters of strict immigration enforcement see the deportation as a necessary step to uphold the rule of law.
South Sudanese authorities have confirmed the arrival of the deportees in Juba. It remains unclear how the men will be reintegrated into society or if they will face any legal repercussions in their home country.
The deportation of the eight men to South Sudan highlights the complex and often contentious nature of immigration enforcement policies in the U.S., stirring debate on issues of human rights, national security, and the rule of law.
