Nyo Myint, a man from Myanmar who lived in Lincoln, Nebraska, was taken into ICE custody in February 2025 after being released on probation in 2023, then placed on a July 2025 flight to South Sudan along with seven other men after weeks of detention at a U.S. military base in Djibouti. His former defense attorney, Nathan Sohriakoff, said Myint did not speak English, communicated through interpreters, and appeared cognitively limited but not incompetent. On February 25, 2026, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy issued an 81-page ruling finding that the government's third-country deportation program violated due process and the Convention Against Torture, carrying out removals with less than 16 hours' notice and preventing detainees from contacting lawyers or appearing in court.
