💨 Abstract

South Africa is concerned as 11 US deportees arrive in Eswatini, raising security and human rights concerns. Eswatini will temporarily host them in a secure facility, but unease persists due to past deportations of convicted criminals. South Africa fears some may illegally enter the country, while rights groups condemn the US programme as opaque and potentially unlawful. Amnesty International has criticized detainee treatment, citing violations of international standards.
