Eight men deported from the US in May, including individuals from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Vietnam, and South Sudan, have arrived in war-torn South Sudan. Their deportation, initially blocked by a federal judge, was ultimately approved by the Supreme Court. The men, convicted of violent crimes in the US, were held in Djibouti for weeks before their relocation. The Department of Homeland Security hailed the decision as a victory for safety and the rule of law, despite South Sudan's dangerous conditions and State Department travel advisory against visiting the country due to ongoing armed conflict and crime.
