Eswatini is Africa’s last remaining absolute monarchy. In other words, it's just the kind of country—small, untroubled by democracy, and presumably eager to avoid a superpower’s wrath—with which the Trump administration has been eager to do business.

Despite Alligator Alcatraz’s shocking conditions and rampant “psychological warfare,” copycats are popping up around the country—everything from the “Cornhusker Clink” to the “Speedway Slammer”

With $75 billion from Congress and thousands of masked agents, ICE is just getting started.
