MANZINI, Eswatini (AP) — A Jamaican man who was among five migrants deported by the United States to Eswatini in Africa has been repatriated to his home country, Eswatini authorities and his lawyers said.
Orville Etoria, 62, was held in a maximum-security prison in Eswatini for more than two months without charges or access to legal counsel, his lawyers said Tuesday. They accused the U.S. of deporting him there unlawfully in mid-July.
The lawyers had said U.S. officials sent him to the southern African nation under the Trump administration’s third-country deportation program even though Jamaica was willing to take him back. They alleged Etoria and the four other men were then repeatedly denied visits by a lawyer while they were held at the prison.
