Eswatini receives four more third-country deportees from US

Eswatini said it had received four more third-country deportees from the United States on Thursday, bringing the total to at least 19 as the Trump administration continued its crackdown on immigration.



Two of the fresh deportees were from Somalia, one was from Sudan and one was from Tanzania. Previous deportees, arriving in July last year, included nationals of Vietnam, Cuba, Laos and Yemen.



A lawyer for some of that earlier group, Alma David, told Reuters a Cambodian man, Pheap Rom, was due to be repatriated, the second to be released after another man was sent back to Jamaica last year.



U.S. President Donald Trump's administration paid the small southern African country $5.1 million to receive them.
