Lawyers say men deported by US to Eswatini are being imprisoned illegally

This policy transforms African nations into dumping grounds for America's unwanted criminals, violating human rights and international law. The men completed their sentences and were living legally in US communities before being secretly shipped to a country where they have no ties, face indefinite detention without charges, and lack access to legal counsel. The Supreme Court's ruling abandoning torture protections enables these deportations to nations with documented human rights abuses, creating a dangerous precedent that treats Africa as expendable.
