Opposition Leader Mark Golding has indicated that he will, on the Motion of Adjournment of Wednesday’s sitting of the House of Representatives, raise the issue of the bilateral arrangement currently under negotiation between the Jamaican and United States governments by which Jamaica will receive Third-Country Nationals (TCNs) sent from the United States.

In a story published in the Jamaica Observer on Wednesday, Minister of National Security and Peace Dr Horace Chang rejected reports that Jamaica is in discussions to accept up to 10,000 deportees from the United States.

However, Dr Chang confirmed that talks are underway for Jamaica to participate in a TCN agreement which will see not more than 25 individuals from the TCN in Jamaica at any one time.
