The US says it has deported what it described as 5 “criminal illegal aliens” to the southern African kingdom of Eswatini.

On board the flight were 5 deportees from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen who have been convicted of crimes ranging from child rape to murder, US Homeland Security Department Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in an online post.

“This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back,” McLaughlin wrote on X.

Earlier this month, the US sent 8 migrants from several countries to South Sudan after a court lifted restrictions on sending people to countries where they have no ties.

    Because my asshole shitcunt of a president thinks that your country is a shithole. Which is largely due to your country being mostly black people.

      This is a man who didn’t believe Lesotho was a real country. Odds are someone suggested this place and he thought it was a “wink wink nudge nudge” way of saying they’re going to disappear these people.
