Former Syracuse basketball player John Bol Ajak will be deported to Sudan after more than a month in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. Ajak, who was born in Natinga, South Sudan, reportedly agreed to a voluntary deportation order during a hearing before Immigration Judge Adam G. Panopoulos of the Elizabeth Immigration Court in New Jersey. The judge stated that Ajak overstayed his visa, which expired in 2023 after he graduated from Syracuse University, and despite having 60 days to leave the country, Ajak had been arrested several times since December for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
