KINGSTON, Jamaica â The Jamaica Observer has confirmed that a Jamaican, 64-year-old Pastor Junior Alves, was among 11 people deported to Eswatini by the United States (US) on Wednesday.
He is the second Jamaican sent to Eswatini by the US in recent times under its third-country nationals agreement.
Family members told Observer Online that Alves has no criminal conviction in the US but was allowed to live in that country, having been granted stay under the Convention Against Torture in 2016.
