...is, I don't know.

I noticed two of those eight were sentenced to life in prison. So why were they let out early or at all? Good behavior? And how long ago were these eight convicted?

Cuba, Vietnam, and Mexico have been accepting deportees of their own citizens, but there are some restrictions and not everyone is accepted. I venture to say that if our own current authorities were not total dickheads, those receiving countries might have been a bit more willing to accept these deportees.

Apparently all eight were in the US illegally. I don't know if they were smuggled in or overstayed a visa, or what.

These are rather unusual cases. Considering all the circumstances, and I still cannot say I fully understand all their situations, deporting them to a country that will take them is a better solution than just letting them roam the streets of the US. There is obviously no guarantee that these eight will never reappear in the US, so this problem may occur again.
