A group of 17 deportees from the US arrived at the Piarco International Airport on May 24 and were interviewed by personnel of the protective services and non-governmental group Vision on a Mission before they were allowed to leave.

Head of Vision on a Mission Giselle Chance described the return of 17 deported nationals as "a smoother and easier transition" compared to the experience with the first group of 11 who arrived on March 28.

In a telephone interview, Chance said, "We were there since 3 am but there was a delay in the flight. Once they landed, we were there to greet them. We briefly introduced ourselves and the services we provide. We also had a phone ready for them to call their loved ones and they were very appreciative of that."
