They *were* the Jewish people who had been relocated (forcibly) after the fall of Jerusalem. Babylonian policy was to take sufficient people from an area after conquest/defeat in war to (a) ensure the remaining population were suitably demoralised not to start much trouble any time soon and (b) act as hostage for their good behaviour. But rather than being just hostages, they were put to work according to their abilities - so anything from labourers through to senior administrative staff - see story of Daniel and also Nehemiah for starters.
I'm pretty sure they're not still there! ;-)
