US Diplomatic Note Reveals a Proposal for Jamaica to Receive Deported Third-Country Nationals
A note from the US Embassy in Kingston describes a proposal that would have Jamaica temporarily receive third-country nationals deported from the United States.
A diplomatic note from the US Embassy in Kingston has surfaced describing a proposal under which Jamaica would temporarily receive third-country nationals deported from the United States. Rights group Jamaicans for Justice has warned the arrangement could strain Jamaica’s human-rights obligations, and similar transit questions have touched the Bahamas. The government has faced pointed questions about the scope of any agreement.
What this means for you: if you track US deportation policy as it reaches the Caribbean, this is the clearest sign yet that transit arrangements are being discussed at the diplomatic level.
