I imagine so, yes. But I was under the impression, given by the Magistrates, that they were deported so they would "compel the members of this clan to try playing the game separately, as individuals, rather than as a collective that plays the game primarily as a group". Rejoining the other clan members as soon as possible does not seem to fulfill that.
Oh—yes, that was not intended to indicate that they had waited as long as they were supposed to and could come back now. Indeed, I meant quite the opposite: that they had waited no longer than they absolutely had to to come back and join their clan. It's a slap in the face.
