South Sudan Repatriates Mexican National Deported by US
South Sudan confirmed Saturday the successful repatriation of Mexican national Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez to Mexico. Munoz-Gutierrez was among a group of eight individuals who had been held in South Sudanese custody since their deportation from the United States in July.
The intricate repatriation process was a collaborative effort, orchestrated by South Sudan’s foreign ministry alongside the Mexican Embassy in neighboring Ethiopia. Authorities emphasized that the operation was carried out in full compliance with international law, existing bilateral agreements, and established diplomatic protocols.
Munoz-Gutierrez, who reportedly had a conviction for second-degree murder in the United States, was part of a broader group of migrants deported by the Trump administration to third countries, including South Sudan. This controversial policy, which has drawn criticism from human rights organizations and faced legal challenges in U.S. courts, involves sending individuals with criminal backgrounds to nations other than their countries of origin. The other deportees to South Sudan included nationals from Cuba, Laos, Myanmar, Sudan, and Vietnam.
This latest repatriation highlights the ongoing practice by the U.S. of deporting migrants to various African nations, with Uganda, Eswatini, and Rwanda having also accepted deportees in recent months.
