A Jamaican man who has lived most of his life in Brooklyn as a permanent U.S. resident has been deported to Eswatini, a small country in southern Africa, under the Trump administration’s third-country deportation program, his lawyers said Tuesday.

The Legal Aid Society said 62-year-old Orville Etoria was deported nearly seven weeks ago without charges or access to legal counsel. His attorney said Etoria had never been to Eswatini and had no ties to the nation.

D’Angelo, Grammy-Winning Neo-Soul Icon, Dies at 51 After Private Battle With Cancer

D’Angelo, Grammy-Winning Neo-Soul Icon, Dies at 51 After Private Battle With Cancer

Neo-Soul artist, D'Angelo
 

At his home in New York City today, Grammy-winning singer and neo-soul pioneer D’Angelo — born Michael Eugene Archer — passed away at the age of 51, following a prolonged fight with pancreatic cancer, his family confirmed.

D’Angelo rose to prominence in the 1990s with his debut album Brown Sugar (1995), which helped usher in the neo-soul movement. He followed it with the critically acclaimed Voodoo (2000) and then, after long periods of retreat, returned with Black Messiah in 2014.

“The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life… After a prolonged and courageous battle with cancer … we are eternally grateful for the legacy of extraordinarily moving music he leaves behind.”
— Family statement


Though reclusive at times, D’Angelo’s artistry merged gospel, soul, jazz, and funk with raw emotional depth. He influenced generations of artists and reshaped how R&B could hold both sensuality and conscious themes. His stripped-down aesthetic, musicianship, and integrity made him a rare figure in modern music.

The music world already echoes with tributes from peers and fans alike, and memorials are expected to follow in coming days. Releases of posthumous work—including unreleased tracks he was reportedly working on with long-time collaborator Raphael Saadiq—are also anticipated. D’Angelo’s legacy will live on in every note he helped redefine.
