Trump Administration Deports Five Convicted Migrants to Eswatini
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The deportations follow a Supreme Court ruling enabling third-country removals after home nations refused repatriation, with Eswatini holding the men pending return to their countries, officials said.
- Five convicted criminals were deported to Eswatini on a flight that arrived Tuesday, as part of a third-country removal initiative launched during the Trump administration, according to U.S. immigration authorities.
- This followed the U.S. Supreme Court's late June ruling allowing deportations to countries other than migrants' own without offering a chance to challenge harm, while the administration sought more African agreements.
- The deported men came from Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen, and Laos and had convictions ranging from murder to child rape, but Eswatini has not disclosed any agreement details or plans for them.
- DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin characterized the men as exceptionally brutal individuals whose countries of origin declined to accept their return, expressing gratitude to President Trump and DHS Secretary Noem for their removal, and emphasizing that they are no longer present on U.S. soil.
- This deportation expands a largely secretive program that sent eight men to South Sudan earlier this month, raising concerns about human rights and political repression under Eswatini's long-ruling absolute monarchy.
