Eswatini Receives Four More 'Third Country' Deportees in $5.1M Deal with Trump Administration

Eswatini received four more deportees from the United States — two from Somalia, one from Sudan, and one from Tanzania — as part of the Trump administration's "third country" deportation deals. A total of 19 people have now been sent to the small African nation, which was paid $5.1 million. A congressional investigation found the administration paid more than $32 million to five foreign governments to accept deportees who are not their citizens. Despite having served their sentences, deportees sent to Eswatini last year remain imprisoned.
