The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Tuesday that it deported five “barbaric” criminals from various nations to Eswatini in Southern Africa under the Trump administration’s third-country deportation program.

DHS said in a statement posted to social media platform X that it had removed five male foreign nationals originally from Cuba, Jamaica, Laos, Vietnam, and Yemen to the southern African nation. Some of the crimes the men had committed allegedly included child rape and murder.
