The US deported five convicted criminals, described as "barbaric" by the Department of Homeland Security, to Eswatini. These individuals, from various countries, had committed crimes ranging from child rape to murder. The deportation follows a Supreme Court ruling allowing deportations to third countries. Eswatini, a small African nation, has not publicly commented on the matter. This action is part of a broader US effort to increase deportations of migrants, a key policy of the Trump administration.
