Washington. The deportation program started by US President Donald Trump has started again. This program has started again after the Supreme Court lifted the ban. Under this, five citizens of five countries have been sent to the African country Eswatini. The US Department of Homeland Security gave this information on Tuesday. The US Supreme Court recently lifted the ban on sending people to countries with which they have no connection. After this, the Trump administration deported eight people to another African country, South Sudan.
Five citizens from Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen and Laos were flown to Eswatini on a plane, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said in a post on X late Tuesday. She said they were all convicted criminals and “so brutal individuals that their home countries refused to take them back.” Eswatini officials have not yet announced any agreement to accept third-country deportees, nor have they said what will be done with the people in the country.
The Trump administration has said it is trying to forge more deals with African countries to accept migrants deported from the US. Some countries, including Nigeria, have opposed such deals. They have said they will not bow to US pressure to take in deported citizens of other countries.
Where is Eswatini located, where illegal immigrants are being sent
The US has also deported hundreds of Venezuelans and others to Costa Rica, El Salvador and Panama. Eswatini is an African country of about 1.2 million people, bordered by South Africa and Mozambique. It is Africa’s only monarchy and one of the few in the world. King Mswati III has been ruling it since 1986. Eswatini was formerly known as Swaziland.
