US Official Uncertain About Deportees' Fate in South Sudan | JQJO

Former US border czar Tom Homan admits uncertainty about the fate of eight men deported to South Sudan in May. Despite claims they are "free," South Sudanese authorities report the men are in custody. The men, convicted of violent crimes in the US, originated from various countries including Myanmar, Cuba, and Vietnam, with only one having a South Sudanese connection. Their deportation followed Supreme Court rulings allowing deportations to third countries. Homan acknowledges he lacks detailed information on their current status, while the administration faces criticism for similar deportations to El Salvador and explorations of agreements with other nations.
