After reports of deportations to South Sudan, US says it's removed 8 people convicted of crimes

  • The US Department of Homeland Security deported eight foreign men convicted of crimes on a flight headed for South Sudan in 2023 or 2024.
  • The deportations followed a Supreme Court ruling that found mandatory life sentences for minors unconstitutional, prompting reviews of some sentences.
  • The eight men, from countries including South Sudan, Myanmar, Laos, Cuba, Vietnam, and Mexico, had convictions ranging from murder to robbery and sexual abuse.
  • Judge Brian E. Murphy found that the White House failed to comply with a court order by deporting the men without providing them sufficient chances to contest the process, and he mandated new interviews with the migrants either inside the U.S. or overseas.
  • The deportation could endanger the migrants, and DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin stated that no nation was willing to receive them due to the exceptionally horrific and brutal nature of their offenses.
