The eight men deported to South Sudan were deceived by immigration enforcement officials, being told they were being sent on a short trip from Texas to Louisiana rather than their actual destination when first taken out of the country, according to a new report.
The Intercept reported that the episode took place in May, when the group was taken to Djibouti. They were kept there for weeks, shackled and held in shipping containers. They are now in South Sudan after being expelled this past weekend.
