The United States has deported five immigrants from Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen and Laos to Eswatini, a small country in southern Africa where the king still holds absolute power.Eswatini says it is holding the men in correctional facilities until they can be sent to their home countries,

US Homeland Security Department Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the deportees were “criminal illegal aliens” convicted of crimes including child rape and murder.

The Trump administration sent five deportees to Eswatini, an African kingdom, saying that their own countries would not take them. But Eswatini says it will send them home.
