Eswatini"s government has confirmed that it has received $5.1 million from the United States to temporarily host up to 160 deportees from third countries. This funding is part of a controversial agreement that was signed in May 2025.

The agreement aims to provide a temporary solution for the deportees, although details regarding the specific arrangements and conditions for hosting these individuals have not been disclosed. The decision has sparked discussions regarding immigration policies and international cooperation.

This funding marks a significant development in Eswatini"s engagement with the United States on immigration issues. As previously reported, similar situations have arisen in other countries regarding the hosting of deportees and the financial implications involved.

The announcement comes as the global community continues to address the complexities of immigration and deportation processes. Further updates on the implementation of this agreement are expected as the situation develops.
