Eswatini Receives 2 More US Deportees Under a Controversial Third-Country Deal
The fifth batch since July 2025 brings more scrutiny to Washington’s $5.1 million deportation deal with Eswatini, rights groups said.
- On Thursday, Eswatini authorities received two more migrants from the United States under a bilateral deportation agreement, described as Latin American "third-party nationals" by government officials.
- Washington's $5.1 million agreement facilitates deporting third-country nationals to the Southern African kingdom, with more than 30 people transferred from the United States since last year.
- Lawyers and rights groups argue the practice is unconstitutional, contending some deportees remain detained in Eswatini despite having already served criminal sentences in the United States.
- The Trump administration has pursued similar deportation deals with 11 African countries, including Rwanda and Ghana, as part of an expanding immigration crackdown affecting multiple nations.
- Pro-Democracy activists are fighting the secretive agreement through lawsuits and public opposition, while Liberia became a focal point after agreeing to accept up to 1,200 migrants from the United States this month.
