The repatriation was carried out “entirely in accordance with relevant international law, bilateral agreements and established diplomatic protocols,” he said.
Right’s defense groups have argued that the growing practice of Trump’s administration to deport migrants to third countries violated international law and fundamental rights migrants.
The deportations were confronted with the opposition of the courts in the United States, although the Supreme Court in June allowed the government to quickly restart migrants to countries other than their homeland.
It is not clear if Gutierrez and other deportees had access to a legal representation.
The group of eight men was found guilty of serious crimes – including murder, homicide, sexual assault, lascivious acts with a child and theft in the United States, the Trump administration said. None of the deportees are South Sudan – the others are from Cuba, Laos, Myanmar, Sudan and Vietnam.

The American Department of Internal Security said that Gutierrez had been sentenced to second degree murder and was sentenced to life prison.
Deportations mean a major political victory for the Trump administration, which sought to convince the countries of the world – regardless of their human rights files – to accept the deportees who are not their citizens.
The other African nations who receive deportees from the United States are Uganda, Eswatini and Rwanda. Eswatini, southern Africa, received five men with criminal history in July. Rwanda announced the arrival of a group of seven deportees in mid-August.
