  "account": "The United States has deported two migrants to Eswatini, a southern African nation, as part of a controversial agreement that has drawn criticism from human rights organizations. The individuals, both from Latin America, arrived in Eswatini following consultations and agreements between the U.S. and the southern African country.\n\nThis is the fifth batch of deportees to be sent from the U.S. to Eswatini since July 2025. Some of the earlier deportees have since been repatriated. The pair are described as \"third-party nationals\" by the Eswatini government.\n\nThe U.S. has been deporting thousands of people to 22 countries through secret agreements, including the Trump administration's deportation of asylum seekers to African nations like Rwanda, Ghana, and Uganda, despite the repressive governments and human rights abuses in these countries. Eswatini's King Mswati III has been accused of suppressing pro-democracy movements.",
