A Lao man deported by the Trump administration to Eswatini, a country with which he had no connection, has been released after 14 months in a maximum-security facility. He had already completed his sentence in the United States before being sent there under third-country deportation policies. Critics say the case shows how migrants are being sent to random countries regardless of any actual ties.

Why now: The release renews attention on the Trump administration's third-country deportation practices.

Evidence

• A Lao man Trump deported to Eswatini, a country he had no ties to, was released after 14 months in maximum security after already serving his U.S. sentence. Third-country deportation apparently means geography by roulette wheel. # Immigration · realTuckFrumper · 4
