Foreign men convicted of crimes that were deported to deportment aimed at the chaotic nation in South Sudan were originally from countries so far from Vietnam. They lived in various places from California to Iowa, Nebraska to Florida, serving a sentence of nearly 30 years.
They were charged and convicted of crimes ranging from murder, rape, robbery and attack.
Despite his criminal files, a federal judge says the White House has violated a court order for deportation in third countries, adding that these eight migrants on board the aircraft have not been given a meaningful opportunity to argue that deportation can put them in danger.
Judge Brian E. Murphy in Boston has ordered a new set of interviews with migrants, or back in the US, or abroad. Trump administration officials have accused “activist judges” of advocating the release of dangerous criminals.
“No country on Earth wanted to accept them because their crimes are so uniquely monstrous and barbaric,” says Trisha McLaughlin, a spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Security.
At least one of the victim’s family members came out to oppose the way deportation is being held, and the fact that her family has not been informed until she says she has been hoping for a man to leave the United States for a long time.
These are the migrants who were part of the deportment fields.
South Sudan: Dian Peter Domach
The only man from South Sudan in the flight was 33-year-old Dian Peter Domakh. He was sentenced in 2013 for robbery, for which he was sentenced to 8 to 14 years in prison; and possession of a deadly weapon by a forbidden person, for which he was sentenced to 6 to 10 years. These sentences had to be exported one after the other. The Ministry of Interior Security said Domah was also convicted of driving under influence.
While in prison, he was convicted of an “closed attack” and sentenced to an additional 18 to 20 months. According to the Department of Correctional Services in Nebraska, Domach was released at a “discretionary conditional release” on May 2 and arrested by the immigration authorities six days later.
The records are said to have presented himself in appeal in the last prison attack case.
Loos: the things of the salles
One of the two lifelong sentences is 48-year-old Thongxay Nilakout from Laos. He was convicted of killing a German woman and her husband’s wound in 1994 when he was 17 years old. The couple visits a popular tourist view east of Los Angeles while traveling to see their daughter.
Nilakut was sentenced to life imprisonment but was released in 2023 after his case was examined following a decision by the US Supreme Court, which is said that the mandatory life sentences for minors are unconstitutional. Nilakut was ordered to be removed in Laos by an immigration judge in 2023 and to refuse the complaint, the court records show.
The daughter of the couple Biete Pfleger is already a professor of history at the California State University, Los Angeles. She called it a “true moral dilemma”, explaining that she was not satisfied with the way deportation was conducted.
“No matter how you cut it, you cannot violate the process of people due. This is a basic constitutional law that has existed for over 250 years,” she said.
But she hopes the man will decide to return to Laos voluntarily. Pfleger stated that he was completing forms that he should be notified of changes in the case of Nilakut, but was not notified when the man was arrested by immigration authorities in January or when he was released in the flight.
“He supposedly had plans for this because there are still some relatives in Laos,” she said. “Well, guess what? Now is the moment. Go call these relatives. Go home. Don’t come back.”
Myanmar: Kyaw Mya
Kyaw Mya, a man from Myanmar who lived in Iowa, was convicted of sexually abused a child under 12 years of age and sentenced to 10 years in prison, according to the Ministry of Homeland Security.
Mia was ordered by an immigration judge in 2021 and lost his complaint from this order in 2023, according to a statement by Marcos Charles, Assistant Director of Field Operations with US immigration and customs law enforcement, filed at the end of Thursday. He was arrested by immigration and customs law enforcement in February in February.
Mya lawyer did not answer phone calls, looking for a comment.
Myanmar: NYO MYINT
NYO MYINT, another Burmese depths lived in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 2017, he was accused of sexual assault over a 26-year-old woman with a “decreased mental capacity” who graduated from pregnant. The woman’s sister said that the victim had a mental capacity equal to 3 years old and that Metint told her that he was the father of the child.
An arrest statement filed by police said that Myint had admitted that she had sex with the woman at least twice, saying she had known her since 2003 and knew she had gone to school for children with mental disabilities. He admitted that he had made a mistake and thought it was wrong to have sex with her.
He was sentenced to 12 to 14 years in 2020, but released for a probationary period in May 2023. It was ordered by an immigration judge the same year and refused the complaint, the court records show. Ice took care of Myint in February.
Nathan Sohriacof remembers that he defends Myint in the case of Nebraska and communicates with him through translators. He had not heard that he was part of the group of the deported, which the employees of the Trump administration call “barbaric monsters”.
“He was a small man, very small. He did not speak a word in English and did not resist the accusations,” said Sochriacof. “I do not remember that I felt he was dangerous. My common sense of him was that he was also limited in his ability, as cognitive, but not to the extent in which I felt was incompetent.”
Vietnam: Tuan Thanh Phan
The Ministry of Interior Security says the flight includes a Vietnamese man. Tuan Tan Fan was sentenced to first -degree murder and second -degree attack and sentenced to 22 years in prison.
An immigration judge ordered Fan to be removed in Vietnam in 2009 and he gave up his complaint, the court records show. He was arrested by ICE earlier this month.
Cuba: Enrique Arias-Hierro
The Ministry of Interior Security says the flight includes two men from Cuba: Enrique Arias-Hierro and Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Cinonones.
Florida’s court records show that Arias-Hierro, who is already 46 years old, has served 15 years in a state prison after being convicted of robbery, abduction and incorrect presentation of an officer in 2007. The internal security employees have also been convicted of murder and armed robbery. Arias-Hierro was already ordered to be removed in Cuba by an immigration judge in 1999 and did not file a complaint, court records show.
The lawyer, who was the last time his public defender in 2024, did not answer email and phone call, looking for a comment. Arias-Hierro was taken from ice earlier this month.
Cuba: Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Kininones
On Thursday, immigration officials said Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Cinonones was sentenced to 15 years in prison sentenced to arson in 2008 in Florida.
Additional sentences for drug trafficking followed to be a criminal possessing a weapon and possession of drugs, said Charles, Assistant Director of ICE for field operations, in a statement filed in court. In 2022, he was sentenced to first -degree murder attempt and sentenced to four years in prison, the document shows.
Charles’ declaration did not say whether Rodriguez-Cinonones was once seen by an immigration judge. He was arrested by ICE last month.
Mexico: Jesus Munoz-Guttresses
A Mexican man was also placed on deportation flights. Immigration officials say that Jesus Munoz-Gutieres has recently been “identified as and recognized to be a member of a criminal organization.” The Ministry of Interior Security says that Jesus Munoz Guetres was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
An immigration judge ordered him to deport to Mexico in 2005, and Munoz Gutieres gave up his complaint, court records show.
It was not clear why he would be taken to South Sudan or beyond when Mexico is south of the United States.
