The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that a flight carrying immigrants from multiple countries landed in Eswatini, a nation in southern Africa. The deportation marks the latest move by the Trump administration after the U.S. Supreme Court lifted restrictions on sending migrants to third countries.
In late June, the Supreme Court allowed the administration to resume third-country deportations, allowing the removal of migrants to nations where they have no ties and without requiring proof of potential harm, advancing the administration’s broader crackdown on mass deportations, The Guardian reported.
DHS spokesperson speaks out about migrant deportees
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin named five deportees from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen, all of whom were convicted of violent crimes ranging from child rape to murder.
“A safe third country deportation flight to Eswatini in Southern Africa has landed— This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back,” McLaughlin said late Tuesday in a post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities,” she added, but they are now “off of American soil.”
In the post, McLaughlin included photos of the men, the crimes for which they were convicted, and their prison sentences. She also said the Cuban deportee was a “convicted Latin King street gang member.”
