Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers has moved to clarify reports regarding the repatriation of Trinidad and Tobago nationals who sought asylum in the United Kingdom, stressing that the returns did not happen suddenly and were not a surprise to the Government.
Sobers explained that deportations have occurred gradually over several years as individual asylum claims were processed and rejected by the UK Home Office.
“The UK has a system that determines whether a claim is bona fide,” Sobers said, noting that investigations can take months or even years depending on complexity.
