Lao man deported by US to Eswatini freed after year in prison

Original: Lao man deported by the US to Eswatini is released after more than a year in prison

A man from Laos who the United States deported to Eswatini has been released after spending more than a year in prison there. The case, reported by several major US outlets, has drawn attention to the practice of sending deported migrants to third countries with which they have no ties, and to the conditions they face upon arrival.

Why now: The unusual third-country deportation arrangement and the man's prolonged detention have renewed scrutiny of US deportation policy.
