Original: Laotian man deported by US to South Sudan leaves for Laos after year in detention
A Laotian man who was deported by the United States to South Sudan, where he was held in detention for roughly a year, has finally left for Laos. The case drew attention as an example of the US practice of sending deportees to third countries despite having no ties there, sparking criticism from immigrant rights advocates over prolonged detention and removals to nations with which deportees have no connection.
