Eight Criminal Illegal Aliens Deported to South Sudan

On July 4th, eight undocumented individuals with serious criminal histories were deported to South Sudan. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shared this news on Saturday, which came amid ongoing frustrations regarding delays in the legal process caused by activist judges.

Deputy Director Tricia McLaughlin commented on the situation, expressing relief that these “dangerous individuals” were finally sent back to their homeland on Independence Day. “After weeks of delays stemming from activist judges, ICE had to deal with a situation where these individuals—considered heinous even in their own countries—had not been accepted back,” she stated.

The deportation had faced hurdles due to multiple court rulings, but the Supreme Court intervened on July 3rd, allowing the Trump administration to proceed with their policies regarding deportation to third countries. These eight deportees had been held in Djibouti while their legal challenges were resolved.

Criminal Background of Those Deported

DHS clarified that the eight men deported had extensive and violent criminal records. This group included:

• Enrique Arias Hiero from Cuba, convicted of murder and armed robbery.
• Jose Manuel Rodriguez Quinones, also Cuban, found guilty of attempted murder, theft, and drug trafficking.
• Tonksai Niraku from Laos, sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder and robbery.
• Jesus Munoz Gutierrez, a native of Mexico, convicted of second-degree murder and also sentenced to life.
• Diane Peter Domach, from South Sudan, arrested for robbery and multiple gun offenses.
• Kyo Mia of Burma, convicted of child-related crimes and serving part of a 10-year sentence.
• NYO Myint, another Burmese national, convicted of serious sexual assaults.
• Tuan Thanh Hwang from Vietnam, sentenced to 22 years for first-degree murder and assaults.

McLaughlin emphasized that these cases went beyond immigration concerns and posed threats to American communities. “Judicial interference has, in some ways, forced ICE to contend with these dangerous individuals,” she added.

DHS celebrated the Supreme Court’s ruling as an important win, enabling ICE to resume their mission to protect public safety. They also expressed gratitude towards ICE officers, who faced challenges amidst the legal processes. McLaughlin remarked on their sacrifices, acknowledging the ongoing battle against what she described as distant influences trying to compromise American safety by forcing the return of dangerous criminals.

As of now, the White House has not provided any comments regarding this issue.
