Jamaica's government is surprised by the deportation of one of its nationals to Eswatini by the Trump administration, alleging that Jamaican authorities have always accepted deportees. The Foreign Affairs Minister confirmed they are investigating reports of a Jamaican's inclusion among five individuals deported, stating that they have not refused any national. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has labeled these individuals as 'barbaric,' but Jamaica is disputing this claim and has initiated communication with U.S. authorities. The deported individuals are reportedly held in solitary confinement under a controversial policy.
The deported group included individuals described as 'so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back,' an assertion the Jamaican government strongly refutes.
Minister Kamina Johnson Smith stated that the Jamaican government has not refused the return of any nationals, confirming ongoing engagements with the US for the return of a Jamaican national if reports are verified.
