Eswatini's Deportation Dilemma: Navigating U.S. Crackdown
Eswatini will soon receive 11 more deportees from the U.S., following an earlier arrival of five. The deal's terms with Trump’s administration remain undisclosed, sparking legal action and protests over alleged mistreatment. Deportees, from various countries, are held separately pending repatriation arrangements.

Eswatini is set to receive an additional 11 deportees from the United States this month, following an earlier group of five received in July. While the government has made arrangements for their stay, specifics about their arrival remain unreleased.
This move is part of former President Donald Trump's efforts to increase deportations, especially to third countries. The first deportees to Eswatini included individuals from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba, and Yemen, with repatriations already underway for some.
However, the agreement between Eswatini and the Trump administration has not been fully disclosed, drawing criticism and legal challenges from activists concerned about the treatment and legalities surrounding the deportees' confinement.
