CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The United States has sent five men to the small African nation of Eswatini in an expansion of the Trump administration's largely secretive third-country deportation program, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday.
The U.S. has already deported eight men to another African nation, South Sudan, after the Supreme Court lifted restrictions on sending people to countries where they have no ties. The South Sudanese government has declined to say where those men are after they arrived nearly two weeks ago.
In a late-night post on X, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the men sent to Eswatini, who are citizens of Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen and Laos, had arrived on a plane, but didn't say when or where.
She said they were all convicted criminals and “individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back.”
The men “have been terrorizing American communities" but were now "off of American soil,” McLaughlin added.
McLaughlin said they had been convicted of crimes including murder and child rape and one was a "confirmed" gang member.
Like in South Sudan, there was no immediate comment from Eswatini authorities over any deal to accept third-country deportees or what would happen to them in that country. Civic groups there raised concerns over the secrecy from a government long accused of clamping down on human rights.
“There has been a notable lack of official communication from the Eswatini government regarding any agreement or understanding with the U.S. to accept these deportees,” Ingiphile Dlamini, a spokesperson for the pro-democracy group SWALIMO, said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. “This opacity makes it difficult for civic society to understand the implications."

The government is an absolute monarchy, the last of its kind in Africa,[21] and has been ruled by King Mswati III since 1986.[2
Perhaps it can be filmed as a reality TV shown back in the countries they are from call it deported and alone
Doesn't New Guinea still have Head Hunter Cannibals? Might be a simpler solution.

Trump is fixing the mess Biden got us into through four years of unfettered, unvetted illegal immigration.
Thank God for Trump.
And there's no new meme yet?
Send them all to Wakanda ...
No Swedes?
We have no obligation to deport a criminal to a country he claims to be from. Deport him anywhere.
Do it by lottery on television. It can be like "The Running Man".
Maybe he'll go to Ukraine. Maybe he'll go to Afghanistan, Iran, or Haiti. Place your online bets before we spin the wheel and find out.
The meal needs to be "gringo food".

Also, the last known address for Biden’s turd.
May he enjoy SA for many, many years.
Why not send them back where they came from? Seriously?
—”I really like this idea of sending criminals to prisons where no one speaks their language.”
Some say there is nothing new under the sun?
Project Exile
“Project Exile was named for the idea that if the police catch a criminal in Richmond with a gun in a crime, the criminal has forfeited his right to remain in this community, will face immediate federal prosecution and stiff mandatory federal prison sentences (often five years), and will thus be “exiled” to federal prison, often far away from the criminal’s home town.”
What’s in it for these countries that take these people?
It was too easy to confuse the name with Switzerland.
The ladies don't have to. They still have the Reed Dance where the young women dance bare-breasted in front of the King. He chooses a new extra wife annually. Last I read, many years ago, the King was up to 14 wives.
In itself, that might be a violation of Amendment 8 to the Constitution which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
Wow! African Alcatraz.
I meant cruel and unusual punishment to the man to have 14 wives.
Formerly known as Swaziland, to us old farts.
Why not send them back where they came from? Seriously?Because the place they came from will let them go free.
Guess where they'll go? Your town/neighborhood?...seriously.
