The US deported at least 20 people to African nations in recent months under a secretive program. Three men deported to Eswatini's maximum-security prison in July remain held without charge or legal representation, despite completing their US sentences. Their lawyers claim the US government falsely stated their home countries refused to accept them. This action is part of the Trump administration's expansion of third-country deportations to South Sudan, Eswatini, Rwanda, and potentially Uganda, raising concerns about human rights and due process. The US government has provided limited information about the detainees' conditions and locations.
