U.S. Deportation Policy Faces Legal Scrutiny

Pheap Rom, a Cambodian man, was deported to Eswatini in October and released after 5 months in a maximum-security prison.
His lawyer claims he was held illegally without charges under the U.S. 'third-country program'.
Rom is the second repatriated from 19 migrants sent to Eswatini since July, intensifying legal challenges against the U.S. policy of paying third countries like Eswatini $5.
