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 has left for Laos after spending roughly a year in detention. The case drew attention as an example of the U.S. deporting immigrants to third countries unrelated to their origin, and his departure ends a prolonged ordeal spanning two unwanted destinations.
Why now: The unusual U.S. practice of deporting migrants to third countries like South Sudan is drawing scrutiny, and this man's release after a year in detention is a notable development.
