Five men deported from the US to Eswatini have sparked outrage. The men, from various countries, were sent to the African nation following a Supreme Court ruling allowing such deportations to "third countries." Eswatini's government claims the men, accused of serious crimes, will be held for roughly a year at US expense. However, opposition groups and civil society organizations decry the move as "human trafficking," citing a lack of transparency and raising concerns about human rights violations. They've protested the decision and petitioned the US embassy, demanding the deportees' return.
