Controversial Deportations: US Sends Criminals to Eswatini
The US has deported five criminal migrants to Eswatini under a controversial third-country deportation program. These men, previously described as violent criminals, hail from Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen, and Laos. Eswatini's government, with a history of human rights issues, has not commented on receiving these deportees.
The United States has transferred five migrants, labeled as 'barbaric' criminals, to Eswatini as part of an expansion of its third-country deportation policy, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Previously, similar deportations saw eight men moved to South Sudan following a Supreme Court decision easing restrictions on such expatriations.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin described these individuals as convicted felons, with offenses ranging from murder to child rape.
