Deportees and officers are ‘ill’ and face risks after flight to South Sudan was stopped by US court in late May
A group of men removed from the US to Djibouti, in east Africa, are stranded in a converted shipping container together with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) officers sent to supervise them after a deportation flight to South Sudan was stopped by an American court.
The eight deportees and 13 Ice staff have begun to “feel ill”, the US government said.
