MBABANE, Eswatini: The United States deported about a dozen people to Eswatini on Wednesday, an American immigration lawyer and local sources told AFP, the latest expulsion to the repressive southern African country.
The deportees were not from Eswatini, in line with the unprecedented “third-country” deportation deal struck by Washington that has seen people from around the world sent there.
An AFP investigation found that the US has offered multimillion-dollar deals and threatened visa restrictions in a bid to get countries to take deportees -- part of President Donald Trump´s wide-ranging immigration crackdown.
