The Trump administration has sought third-party countries to accept deportees, including Eswatini, which confirmed receiving five deportees. These individuals are housed in isolated correctional units. Eswatini acknowledged human rights concerns regarding deportees from countries other than its own. The Kingdom maintains adherence to international diplomatic protocols and plans to cooperate with the International Organization for Migration for repatriation. Critics argue that the administration's deportation strategies exploit countries with poor human rights records, increasing the risk of mistreatment, and claim that rapid deportations deny individuals the chance to contest their removal legally.
The government of the tiny, landlocked African country of Eswatini has confirmed that it received five individuals deported from the United States under President Donald Trump.
As a responsible member of the global community, the Kingdom of Eswatini adheres to international agreements and diplomatic protocols regarding the repatriation of individuals.
Critics have maintained that the Trump administration is relying on countries with documented histories of human rights abuses to accept deportees, thereby subjecting them to the risk of inhumane treatment.
There is also concern that deportations under Trump are happening so swiftly that those facing deportation are unable to challenge their removal in court, violating their rights to due process.
