National Security and Peace Minister Dr Horace Chang says the government is fully prepared to process asylum applications from Third Country Nationals (TCNs) should the need arise.
This follows yesterday’s arrival of the first batch under Jamaica’s agreement with the United States.
According to the government, under the terms of the agreement, if 10 or more TCNs apply to remain in Jamaica through asylum applications or other humanitarian processes, the entire transfer programme will be halted.
