Laotian man deported by US to South Sudan heads home to Laos
Original: Laotian man deported by U.S. to South Sudan leaves for Laos after year in detention
A Laotian man who was deported by the United States to South Sudan, despite having no connection to the country, has finally left for Laos after spending roughly a year in detention. His case became one of the most prominent examples of the US practice of sending deported migrants to third countries. Advocates had sharply criticised his prolonged detention and the legality of the deportation.
Why now: The end of his year-long ordeal and return to Laos renews debate over the US third-country deportation policy.
