FACED with a grilling from journalists at a post-Cabinet media briefing on Wednesday, Minister of National Security Dr Horace Chang admitted that the first batch of 25 foreign nationals expected to be deported to Jamaica from the United States may opt to remain on the island.
But Chang was adamant that Jamaica would accept no more non-national deportees from the US after that.
Jamaica is expected to receive these deported foreign nationals under a third-country nationals (TCN) agreement with the US, which Chang said he signed last week, but which has not yet gone before Parliament.
