A Laotian man who was deported by the United States to South Sudan has left for Laos after spending roughly a year in detention there. His case became one of the most prominent examples of the U.S. policy of removing deportees to third countries far from their homelands, drawing criticism from immigration advocates. His departure for Laos ends a prolonged ordeal during which his legal status and location remained contested.
