The United States deported 10 more illegal aliens to Eswatini on Monday — the second transfer this year under a third-country deportation agreement with the southern African kingdom.
Eswatini officials confirmed that the group arrived in the capital, Mbabane, early on Monday morning.
The deportees are being held in a “secured facility” while arrangements are made for their repatriation to their countries of origin, according to Eswatini’s Ministry of Home Affairs.
The transfer is part of a broader agreement signed earlier this year allowing the U.S. to send up to 160 deportees to Eswatini. In exchange, the U.S. reportedly agreed to pay the kingdom over $5 million in logistical and administrative support.
This latest flight follows a July deportation in which five men from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba, and Yemen were sent to Eswatini under the same program. Those individuals remain in detention.
