On Friday, July 4, the United States deported eight convicted criminals to South Sudan, as their home countries, including Myanmar, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and Mexico, refused to accept them.
They had either completed their prison sentences or were nearing the end of their release dates. A prior ruling requiring migrants to be informed and have access to asylum officers was overturned by the Supreme Court, allowing the deportation to proceed. Upon arrival in Juba, the men were monitored by local authorities but not handcuffed, and their legal status remains unclear.
This action reflects the Trump administration’s strategy to increase deportations to third countries, with previous deportations to El Salvador and Costa Rica, and ongoing talks with other nations. South Sudan is currently facing instability and conflict, prompting US travel warnings.
