The United States is compelling third countries to accept deported foreigners in exchange for bonuses from Washington, reports the Pais newspaper.

"Tariffs, entry bans (cash payments for every immigrant admitted to the U.S.), refraining from criticizing domestic policies of African countries, and promises of future bonuses from Washington – all of these are also methods employed by the United States," the report states.

The article notes that the U.S. pressured Ghana to accept deported foreigners through visa restrictions, while Rwanda has agreed to receive deported illegal immigrants from the U.S. in return for political concessions and financial compensation.

Pais, citing a treaty between Eswatini and the U.S., reports that Eswatini will accept 160 deportees from the United States in exchange for $5.1 million. According to the newspaper, citizens from Jamaica, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and Yemen are already in Eswatini, and their lawyers report dire detention conditions and difficulties maintaining contact with them.

In his first speech as President on January 20, Donald Trump promised to immediately halt illegal immigration into the U.S. and begin the deportation process for millions of migrants. He also declared a national emergency at the U.S. southern border due to the prevailing situation.
