The U.S. has expelled five immigrant men to Eswatini in southern Africa, where local authorities say they are holding them in jail before they deport them back to their home countries of Vietnam, Laos, Jamaica, Cuba and Yemen. This comes after the Supreme Court gave the Trump administration the green light to send immigrants to third countries. Under new rules, ICE can send people to countries they have no ties to with as little as six hours’ — or in some cases no — advance notice.
This comes as immigration lawyers in Hawaii say an increasing number of immigrants detained in the continental United States are being transferred to prisons in Hawaii and are being deprived of access to legal counsel.
