The United States has dispatched a second deportation flight to Eswatini, bringing ten individuals who are not nationals of the kingdom. This follows an earlier flight in July that sent five deportees. The White House confirmed that these individuals had committed serious crimes, including murder and rape. However, rights advocates have condemned the treatment of deportees, citing reports of solitary confinement and restricted access to legal counsel. US immigration lawyer Tin Thanh Nguyen, representing some deportees, expressed concerns over the inability to communicate with them due to government restrictions. Activists in Eswatini have launched a legal challenge against the agreement with the US, which they argue lacks transparency and could leave deportees stranded in a foreign country without proper legal protections. The Eswatini government claims it is committed to humane treatment of all individuals in custody, stating that deportees will remain in correctional facilities until they can be repatriated.
