US deports migrants to Eswatini, African country with troubling human rights record

Announcement that people from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen were deported comes after eight others were sent to South Sudan this month

The US has flown five immigrants from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Yemen and Cuba to the small, African country of Eswatini - an absolute monarchy with a troubling human rights record.

The move signals that the US is again ramping up so-called third country" deportations after the US supreme court cleared the practice last month.
