Third-Country Deportees Sent To Eswatini

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The United States says it has sent five men to the small African nation of Eswatini in an expansion of the Trump administration’s third-country deportation program. 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. In a post on X, Homeland Security Department Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin says the men, who are citizens of Vietnam, Cuba, Yemen and Laos, have arrived in Eswatini on a plane.
