    • Verification Source #1: Mentions deportation officers and law enforcement actions but does not specify countries. Fails to cover.
    • Verification Source #2: Confirms deportation flights to El Salvador. Supports the general claim of deportation flights but contradicts the specific destination of Eswatini.
    • Verification Source #4: Mentions the US commitment to resuming return assistance, which could relate to deportation. Fails to cover the specific destination.
    • Verification Source #3 and #5: Irrelevant to the claim.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
  • Verification Source #2: "Deportation flight: The Trump administration sent another flight of migrant prisoners to El Salvador this week..." This contradicts the claim that the flight went to Eswatini.
  • Verification Source #1: "As law enforcement personnel, ERO's deportation officers conduct law enforcement actions..." This supports the general idea of deportations but doesn't confirm the specific claim about Eswatini.
  • Verification Source #4: "IOM welcomes the United States' commitment to resuming return assistance..." This supports the idea of returns/deportations but doesn't confirm the specific claim about Eswatini.
  • The lack of coverage in the other sources prevents verification of the specific claim about Eswatini.
