US Deportations to Eswatini: Critics Allege Government-Sanctioned Human Trafficking
A group of ten migrants deported from the United States have arrived in Eswatini, an African nation, as part of a controversial third-country deportation program. These individuals are the latest additions to a group of over forty deportees sent to Africa since July. The deportees, including Vietnamese nationals held in Louisiana, are currently held in a correctional facility, while four previous deportees remain in a maximum-security prison without charge. Rights groups have expressed concern over the program and the potential lack of due process for migrants in these countries, especially considering the secretive agreements between the U.S. and the African nations.
