US Deportees Welcomed Into South Sudan to ‘Normalize Relations’

South Sudan took in eight deportees from the United States in a bid to normalize relations with the US, the African nation’s foreign affairs ministry said.

The group arrived on July 5, the ministry said in a statement. The men had been held at a US military base in Djibouti before the US Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s administration could deport migrants to countries other than those of their origin.
