The African state of Eswatini announced on Wednesday that it will repatriate five migrants deported there by the United States, a day after American officials said their home countries had refused to accept them.
The migrants—citizens of Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen, and Laos—had served prison sentences in the U.S. for serious crimes, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin described the five men as "individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back."
