'Inquiries' over US Deportees' Stopover Flight at Shannon
- A US private Gulfstream jet carrying eight convicted violent deportees landed at Shannon Airport during a flight from Texas to Djibouti in early May 2025.
- The flight occurred against a federal judge’s order in Massachusetts who ruled the deportations to South Sudan violated a court injunction.
- The deportees, described by Homeland Security as barbaric and convicted of crimes including murder and sexual assault, were reportedly sent to South Sudan amid limited acceptance by any country.
- Tánaiste Simon Harris said on Thursday he seeks legal clarity, while the Taoiseach noted international agreements mean detainee details on such flights may not be immediately clear.
- This incident highlights conflict between US federal courts and Homeland Security regarding deportations and raises questions on the role of international airports in such operations.
