Eswatini’s (formerly Swaziland) government said on Wednesday that it is holding US deportees in prisons, with an aim to send them back to their own countries.
The Southern African country said it is holding the five individuals in isolated prison units under a deal with President Donald Trump’s administration.
The five individuals on the flight were convicted criminals from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen, it said. U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said on X their home countries had refused to take them back.

“Government acknowledges the widespread concern regarding the deportation of third-country prisoners from the United States of America into the Kingdom of Eswatini,” said Eswatini’s acting government spokesperson Thabile Mdluli in a statement.
“Indeed, five inmates are currently housed in our correctional facilities in isolated units,” she said, adding that this was “the result of months of robust high-level engagements” with the United States government.
Last week, South Sudan government also acknowledged receiving eight deportees from the US, saying they were in the capital Juba under the care of the relevant authorities, who are screening them and ensuring their safety and wellbeing.

Barcelona winger, Lamine Yamal is to be investigated over claims that he hired people with dwarfism to perform at his 18th birthday party. Spain's Ministry of Social Rights has asked the country's prosecutor's office to investigate the player, over allegations that he hired a group of entertainers with dwarfism, something the Association of People with Achondroplasia and other Skeletal Dysplasias in Spain (ADEE) described as "unacceptable in the 21st century".
"Therefore, this Directorate General has asked the Prosecutor's Office to investigate to determine whether the law and, therefore, the rights of people with disabilities have been violated," the Directorate General for People with Disabilities told BBC Sport.
Lamine Yamal hosted a party on Sunday at a rented property in Olivella, a small town 50 kilometres north west of Barcelona, with guests including YouTubers, influencers, and several Barcelona team-mates.
