 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring.

US OFFICIALS DEPORT ASIAN MIGRANTS TO SOUTH SUDAN. (PHOTO)


 US officials deport Asian migrants to South Sudan


US immigration officials have begun deporting about 12 South Asian migrants to South Sudan, according to a court filing and media reports.


Immigration lawyers learned from a detention officer's email that a Burmese national, identified as "N.M." was "removed...to South Sudan", they wrote in a filing seeking the court's intervention and the return of the migrants. 


A second migrant, a Vietnamese national identified as T.T.P. in the filing, "appears to have suffered the same fate" along with at least 10 others, AFP reported.


The removal violates an earlier order, the lawyers said, noting they had last filed an emergency motion on May 7, after media reports indicated immigration officials were seeking to deport N.M. and others to Libya and Saudia Arabia.


The court had sided with plaintiffs and "the men were ultimately transported back to an immigration detention center after remaining on a bus on the base's tarmac for three or four hours", the filing said.


The filing also noted that a flawed peace deal in South Sudan collapsed this week, and N.M. is being flown "into a country that is now returning to full-blown and catastrophic civil war".


The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


In early April, the Trump administration banned visas for South Sudanese nationals, as part of Presidend Donald Trump's ever-broadening anti-immigration platform.


The Republican president has said the United States faces an "invasion" by "foreign criminals". 


In February, Trump invoked rarely used wartime legislation to fly some 250 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador without any court hearings, alleging they belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang, a charge that their families and lawyers deny.
