The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently carried out the deportation of several illegal immigrants, including those convicted of heinous crimes such as murder and child rape, to Eswatini, a small, land-locked nation in southern Africa.
According to RedState, DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin announced the deportation in a post late Tuesday. "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," she wrote. "These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities, but thanks to [President Trump] (and) [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem], they are off of American soil."
The deported individuals, described by McLaughlin as "uniquely barbaric," include "egregious criminal illegal aliens, including three convicted murderers and a convicted child rapist," as reported by Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin. These individuals are originally from Cuba, Jamaica, Laos, Vietnam, and Yemen.
Eswatini, the destination of these criminals, is known for its high crime rate, insular governance, and underdeveloped infrastructure, which contribute to limited contact with the outside world. This deportation is a clear message to those who commit serious crimes on American soil: they will face severe consequences.
This decisive action follows a Supreme Court ruling last month, which resulted in the deportation of eight men from Asia and Latin America to South Sudan. All of these individuals had committed serious crimes and were subject to removal. The deported individuals to Eswatini include a Vietnamese national convicted of child rape, a Jamaican citizen convicted of robbery and murder, and a Latin King Street gang member convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated battery against a police officer.
The details of the agreement between DHS and Eswatini, which allowed these criminals to be deported to the African nation, remain unclear. However, it is evident that the Trump administration is committed to ensuring the safety of American communities by removing these dangerous individuals.
Earlier this month, a senior administration official announced that migrants could face deportation to third countries, beyond their nations of origin, with just six hours' notice. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons clarified that, in most circumstances, illegal aliens will have 24 hours after being notified before they are placed on deportation flights. However, in "exigent circumstances," some will be given much shorter notice.
These circumstances involve individuals sent to a country in which the United States has "received diplomatic assurances from the country of removal that aliens ... will not be persecuted or tortured." As for the others, they will be informed of their removal, have at least 24 hours, and will not be asked "whether the person is afraid of being sent to that country."
This firm stance on deportation underscores the Trump administration's commitment to upholding law and order, and ensuring the safety of American citizens.
Regardless of the fear these criminals may have of facing the consequences of their actions, they will be held accountable. This is a clear demonstration of the administration's dedication to preserving the integrity and security of the nation.
