10 more deportees from the US arrive in the African nation of Eswatini
- Early Monday, a flight transporting 10 migrants from Southeast Asia, who had been deported from the United States, arrived in Eswatini after making stops in Puerto Rico, Senegal, and Angola.
- The arrival comes as part of the Trump administration's third-country deportation initiative, which involves confidential arrangements with five or more African countries to accept migrants.
- The deportees, including four men held without charge in a maximum-security prison in Eswatini and a Jamaican man repatriated last month, have been detained for nearly three months.
- Human Rights Watch has reviewed documents revealing that the United States has agreed to provide Eswatini with $5.1 million in exchange for accepting up to 160 deportees, while some of those deported have been denied access to legal representation, although four men have been permitted to contact family members and attorneys in the U.S.
- Eswatini’s government confirms secure accommodation of the deportees and defends the deals despite legal challenges and criticism that the program likely denies migrants due process.
