The government of Eswatini confirmed the arrival of five deportees from the United States, assuring citizens they pose no security threat. These individuals are housed in isolated correctional facilities and are in transit to their home countries. The transfer was a result of extensive collaboration between the U.S. and Eswatini governments. Although the International Organization for Migration stands by to assist, they were not involved in this operation. The U.S. classified the deportees as individuals too dangerous for their home countries to accept back.
The arrival of five third-country deportees from the United States of America poses no security threat to Eswatini. They are in transit and will be repatriated to their respective countries.
The presence of the deportees is the result of months of robust high-level engagements between the U.S. Government and Eswatini, and collaboration with the IOM will facilitate their transit.
The International Organization for Migration clarified they were not involved in this operation and had not been requested to provide post-removal assistance.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security described the deportees as individuals uniquely barbaric, suggesting their home countries refused to take them back due to their criminal history.
