The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on July 15 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 X that it had removed five male foreign nationals originally from Cuba, Jamaica, Laos, Vietnam, and Yemen to the southern African nation. The crimes the men had allegedly committed included child rape and murder.
