In a contentious move, the Trump administration is under fire for ramping up deportations to third countries like South Sudan and Eswatini, targeting immigrants convicted of serious crimes.

The policy, which critics label as cruel, reportedly sends individuals to unrelated nations. This includes sending people to countries like Libya initially, yet later returning them to their native lands.
