The US government has sent five men, which it describes as “barbaric” criminals to the little African Eswatini nation, developing mainly in a secret third -country deportation program.
After the Supreme Court annulled the restrictions to send people to the country where they have no relationship, they have already deported eight men to another African country, South Sudan.
The South Sudan government refused to tell where those men, also described as violent criminals, are after they were accepted almost two weeks ago.
In a late evening report on the X Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said men sent Eswatini, who are citizens of Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen and Laos, to the plane, but did not say when and where.
She said they were all convicted of criminals and “persons, so unequivocally barbaric that their home countries refused to return them.”
Men “terrorized American communities”, but now it was “from American soil,” McLaughlin said.
She said they had been convicted of crimes, including murder and child rape, and one was “approved” by a gang member. Her social media records contained male cups and what they said were their convictions. They were not named.
As in South Sudan, the comments of the Eswatini authorities were no comments on any agreement to accept third -party deportees or what would happen to them in that country.
The civic group there is a concern about the Government, long accused of human rights, mystery.
“The ESWatini government has officially been in contact with any agreement or understanding of the US to agree with these deportees,” said Inswile Dlaimini, a spokesman for the Democracy Group, the Associated Press.
“This opacity makes it difficult for civil society to understand the consequences.”
It was not clear whether they were held at the detention center, what their legal status was or what Eswatini plans for deported men were.
Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is about 1.2 million people between South Africa and Mozambique. It is one of the last remaining absolute monarchies and the last in Africa. King Mswati III decree has decided since 1986.
Political parties have been effectively banned, and for many years, the democracy support group said that MSWati III sometimes violated political disagreements. Groups such as Swallimo called for democratic reforms.
Protemocracy protests in the Eswatini city arose in 2021, when dozens of security forces were killed. Eswatini’s authorities have been accused of political murders of democracy activists and prison others.
Since Eswatini is a poor country with a relatively lacking resource, it “can experience high tension by accommodating and managing complex education, especially those with serious criminal beliefs,” he said. Dlai.
Although the US administration congratulated deportations as a victory of American safety, Mr Dlaimi said his organization wants to know the plans of five men sent to Eswatini and “any potential risk to the local population.”
Trump’s administration stated that it was seeking more transactions with African nations to take deportees from the US.
The leaders of some of the five nations of West Africa, who met President Donald Trump last week, said the issue of migrations and their countries that could take exiles from the US had been discussed.
Some nations retreated. Nigeria, which was not part of the summit of the summit of the White House, said she had rejected US pressure to take deportees, which are citizens of other countries.
