U.S. Sends 10 Immigrants to Eswatini in Another “Third Country” Deportation Flight

HeadlineOct 07, 2025

The government of Eswatini confirmed Monday it had received a second deportation flight from the United States carrying 10 people who were not nationals of the small southern African kingdom. This comes after the Trump administration previously sent five other deportees to Eswatini in July. Lawyers and human rights groups warn deportees sent by the U.S. have been held in solitary confinement and denied access to their lawyers. The Trump administration has also sent “third-country” deportees to Ghana, Rwanda and South Sudan.
