Israeli authorities on Sunday began a roundup of South Sudanese migrants ahead of their deportation, three days after a court ruled that their lives were no longer threatened in their homeland.
“The deportation operation is getting under way. We are starting the job,” Interior Minister Eli Yishai told independent television station Channel Two.
“We told the infiltrators from South Sudan to come voluntarily; whoever doesn‘t, with the Lord’s help we shall get them all ... they‘ll be put on a plane,” he said.
The channel reported that eight South Sudanese were taken into custody on Sunday and “would be deported soon.”
The Jerusalem Post quoted the immigration authority as saying that a total of 22 people were arrested on Sunday -- eight South Sudanese, three Nigerians, three Ghanaians, two from Ivory Coast, three Sri Lankans and three Romanians. Full story...
