KINGSTON, Jamaica — Advocacy Group Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) is voicing serious concerns over Jamaica’s agreement to accept third-country nationals (TCNs) from the United States as a temporary transit point.
In a statement on Wednesday, the group said significant constitutional questions arise regarding the legal status, treatment and detention of any such individuals while they remain in Jamaica.
The comments follow confirmation from the Government that it is considering partnering with the United States (US) to accept TCNs.
