Five Trinidad and Tobago nationals, aged between 19 and 57, were deported from the US to Trinidad on a charter flight on June 12, according to a statement issued by the US Embassy. The group, which included three men and two women, reportedly had "significant criminal records."

The statement said the deportation was the result of close collaboration between US personnel and authorities in TT.

On arrival at Piarco International Airport, the deportees were processed by customs and immigration and police. One of the individuals had an outstanding warrant in Trinidad for robbery.
