US sends deportees to Eswatini

Valletta · Wednesday at 1:22 AM

The administration's campaign to increase deportations to third-party countries gained a major legal victory last month, when the Supreme Court suspended a ruling by a federal judge in Boston that had required the U.S. to give detainees a certain degree of notice and due process before any deportation to a place that was not their country of origin.
That now-suspended lower court order had required officials to give detainees and their lawyers notice of the third country the government wanted to remove them to, as well as a chance to contest their deportation, including by raising fears of being harmed or tortured in that nation.

U.S. sends deportees convicted of violent crimes to small African country of Eswatini

As it seeks to ramp up deportations, the Trump administration has sent some migrants to far-flung places that aren't their home countries.

They are allies, they know the dangers of communism.

They’re an absolute diarchy, “freedom of speech” is limited to being able to say nice things about the rulers.
Most married women in Eswatini have "the status of legal minors", according to Amnesty International.

Realize that as to freedom of speech the U.S. government not too far back started a ministry of truth and went after moms speaking up at school boards.
Eswatini stands up to China, about the only African country that realizes the evil of the far left. China knows them:

Communism? I thought these guys we were sending were just criminals?

I'll bet the fellows we sent to South Sudan we are cheering. It's a real "briar patch" moment. for them. Instead of punishing them for their crimes, we send them to a poor and chaotic, wreck of a country teeming with armed militias fighting the government and each other. The rule of law is weak and non-existant in much of the country. They are hardened criminals who have already shown themselves able to pursue a life of violent crime in an unfamiliar culture. They'll do just fine in South Sudan. I dpn't know what the King of Eswatini will make of the thugs we sent there. Perhaps he regards them as recruitable talent.

From the op's link:

The deported men, McLaughlin said, are "so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back."

If these individuals are so bad, why isn't the US government securing them? We're going to trust some far off 3rd country to keep them in custody?

One you can't believe a word, that the Trump administration says. If these people broke laws, why aren't they in an American prison? Before they get deported back to their country. How much are we paying for this abuse to people? This isn't as good as you believe. Do they know the language of Africa people. Africa is a very poor country. Except for the wealthy. And it doesn't look like Africa treats their own people good.

Language is no problem. They have already shown themselves capable of violent crime in a new country and a new language when they came here. In a week or so they will be at the "meets basic needs" level and ready for criminal employment. Think of it as kind of a work-relase program.

They will keep them in prison until they repatriate them to their home countries. The Democrats in power deliberately swamped the U.S. system, never before have so many criminals been allowed to enter one country is such a short period of time. The Trump administration is trying to save as many people as possible, freeing those who are victims and preventing future victims by deporting the worst of the criminals. The more the Democrats delay the process the more people will die or be damaged for the rest of their lives.

Who told you that fairy story? Never mind, they are out of the country and that's a good thing for us. anyway, and it was sucker bait for the Dems and of course the Dems took it hook line and sinker.

The [five] migrants came from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Yemen and Cuba, and had been serving time in American prisons for serious offenses, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“This is another clear example of how the United States is flagrantly violating the law restricting it from deporting people to countries where they will likely be persecuted or tortured,” said Matt Adams, a lawyer for the migrants sent to South Sudan.

The Trump administration used the deportations to Eswatini “simply for political theater,” he said. “Spending millions of dollars to fly five men to the other side of the planet.”

Praise be....the king.
Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is tucked between South Africa and Mozambique and has one of Africa’s last ruling monarchies. The kingdom is divided between those who praise its adherence to tradition and those who argue that the lavish lifestyle of King Mswati III stands in painful contrast to the poverty afflicting many of the country’s 1.2 million people.

Africa isn't a country!

And almost half the countries in Africa have English as an official language (although not necessarily the primary language), including Eswatini.

African Nation Says It Will Repatriate Migrants Deported by U.S.

The tiny African kingdom of Eswatini announced on Wednesday that it would repatriate the five migrants who had been deported there by the United States, a day after American officials said the migrants’ home countries had refused to accept them.
The migrants came from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Yemen and Cuba, and had been serving time in American prisons for serious offenses, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
