Eswatini Supreme Court Allows Legal Access for U.S. Deportees After Nine Months

The Supreme Court in Eswatini has ruled that four men deported by the U.S. under President Trump's third-country deportation program can finally meet with a lawyer. These men, from Cuba, Yemen, Laos, and Vietnam, were denied in-person legal counsel for nine months while held at a maximum-security prison. The court dismissed arguments by Eswatini authorities that the deportees did not want to meet with their lawyer and had no right to legal counsel. The U.S. government has paid Eswatini $5.1 million to take deportees, and the program has faced criticism for violating deportees' legal rights.

Eswatini Supreme Court Allows Legal Access for U.S. Deportees Held in Prison

The Supreme Court in Eswatini has ruled in favor of four men deported by the United States under a third-country deportation program, allowing them to meet with a lawyer after being denied in-person legal counsel for nine months. These men, originally from Cuba, Yemen, Laos, and Vietnam, were sent to Eswatini last July and have been held at a maximum-security prison. The U.S. government had deported them following their convictions for serious crimes, and they had completed their prison sentences in the U.S. The Eswatini government had previously appealed a lower court's decision permitting legal meetings, arguing that the deportees did not want to meet with the lawyer and had no right to legal counsel since they were not charged with a crime in Eswatini. The Supreme Court dismissed these arguments, emphasizing the deportees' right to legal representation.
