DESPITE repeated assurances from the Government that Jamaicans expelled from the United States (US) would never be refused entry to their homeland, another Jamaican man has been shipped to the southern African state of Eswatini under America’s third-country nationals (TCNs) agreement.

Sixty-four-year-old Junior Alves, a Christian pastor who has lived in the US for the past 44 years, was among 11 people transported to Eswatini on Wednesday.

He is the second Jamaican sent to Eswatini by the US in recent times under its TCN agreement with that country — which it pays approximately US$5.1 million to accept them.
