Twenty‑two deportees from the United States arrived at Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston on Tuesday and were taken by bus to an undisclosed location.
The arrival follows a bilateral memorandum of understanding signed in June that allows Jamaica to act as a transit point, with the country transferring deportees to their home nations or other destinations and refusing anyone with a criminal record; the International Organization for Migration will provide care for the individuals, and the arrangement is not funded by the Jamaican government.
