KINGSTON, Jamaica—Opposition Senator Lambert Brown on Friday lashed out at the move by the government to sign a third-country national (TCN) arrangement with the United States (US) that will provide for TCNs transferred from the US to transit through Jamaica to their final destination.

Brown, citing comments by United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, described the agreement as a move by the United States to dump ‘some of the most despicable, pedophiles and dangerous people’ in Jamaica.

“I raise the issue: why are you bringing to Jamaica the most despicable, pedophiles and dangerous people that your MOU has brought?” Brown said on Friday in the Senate.
