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.
It’s not making them stateless. They are still citizens of their original countries.
Are they, if under this conceit their home country refuses to accept them back?
Or if they are US citizens arbitrarily stripped of their citizenship?
Do we know if they even ask these peoples’ home countries if theyll take them back? I haven’t heard that. As fsr as I know, they’re just selling them off to be slaves, which it feels like happened in this case.
