South Sudan repatriates Mexican man deported from US in July
- On September 6, 2025, Jesus Munoz Gutierrez, a Mexican citizen who had been expelled from the U.S. earlier in July, boarded a repatriation flight departing from Juba International Airport in South Sudan.
- His deportation followed a June Supreme Court ruling allowing the U.S. government to resume swift removals of migrants to third countries, amid legal debates over migrants' rights and access to counsel.
- South Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs coordinated the repatriation with the Mexican Embassy in Ethiopia, and Ambassador Apuk Ayuel Mayan officially announced Gutierrez's departure at the airport.
- Gutierrez thanked South Sudanese authorities, saying, "God bless South Sudan," while Ambassador Alejandro Estevil Castro noted Gutierrez would travel through Ethiopia to reunite with his family in Mexico.
- This repatriation highlights ongoing international coordination efforts amid criticism that U.S. deportations to third countries violate international law and migrant rights.
