US Deports Five Convicted Migrants to Eswatini Amidst Renewed Controversies

In a significant move, the US Department of Homeland Security has confirmed the deportation of five individuals convicted of serious crimes to the southern African kingdom of Eswatini. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated that the deportees, from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba, and Yemen, were convicted of offenses ranging from child rape to murder, describing them as “depraved monsters” who had been “terrorizing American communities.”

This deportation follows a recent US Supreme Court decision that cleared the way for the administration to resume sending migrants to countries other than their own. Eswatini, previously known as Swaziland and Africa’s last absolute monarchy, has not yet commented on the arrival of the flight, though it had been previously named in media reports as a potential recipient of deportees.

This action is part of a broader policy shift, with discussions ongoing with other nations like Rwanda, Benin, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, and Moldova regarding similar arrangements. Earlier this month, eight migrants were also sent to South Sudan, despite previous visa revocations for South Sudanese passport holders due to non-cooperation on repatriations. The US has already deported individuals to El Salvador and Costa Rica, intensifying its crackdown on immigration.
