Jamaica accepts first flight of third-country deportations from US

The Caribbean country of Jamaica has received its first third-country deportations from the United States, as part of an expanding set of international agreements under President Donald Trump. On Tuesday, 22 deportees from the US arrived at Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, Jamaica. Media reports indicate they were subsequently boarded onto a bus and taken to an undisclosed location. Such deportations – which often involve non-citizens who have no ties to their destinations – have faced widespread condemnation from human rights groups and advocates who have questioned their legality.
