US in talks with Jamaica to send third-country migrants as rift widens in Caribbean
Jamaica is negotiating with the U.S. to accept up to 25 third-country deportees every two weeks under a proposed agreement with the Department of Homeland Security. The move faces opposition in Jamaica over security and social risks, while the U.S. has used similar arrangements to deport over 19,000 people to third countries, including Mexico and other Caribbean and African nations.
