The United States has deported five migrants — from Cuba, Jamaica, Laos, Vietnam, and Yemen — to the African kingdom of Eswatini, U.S. officials said Tuesday.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the individuals were convicted of violent crimes including child rape and murder. Their home countries reportedly refused to accept their return, prompting the U.S. to deport them to a third country.

“These criminal illegal aliens are so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back,” DHS said on X.

The deportations follow a June Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump administration to send migrants to third countries. Earlier this month, eight other convicted criminals — from Cuba, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Mexico, and South Sudan — were deported to South Sudan.

Eswatini, a landlocked monarchy led by King Mswati III since 1986, has faced criticism for human rights abuses and the king’s extravagant lifestyle.

President Trump, who returned to office in January, has renewed efforts to expel undocumented migrants, vowing to remove millions as part of his immigration crackdown.
