  • The immigrants from Cuba, Jamaica, Laos, Yemen, and Vietnam have been denied legal representation in prison, as stated by the lawyer.
  • The Eswatini government plans to keep the men in solitary confinement until their deportation, which may take up to a year.
  • Details of the agreement with the U.S. remain 'classified', despite activists' demands for transparency, according to government sources.
