US border czar says he doesn’t know fate of eight men deported to South Sudan

Men from Mexico, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar were removed from the US and flown to the war-torn country

Tom Homan, the US border czar, said he does not know what happened to the eight men deported to South Sudan after the Trump administration resumed sending migrants to countries that are not their place of origin, known as third countries.

They're free as far as we're concerned. They're free, they're no longer in our custody, they're in Sudan," Homan told Politico on Friday. Will they stay in Sudan? I don't know."
