## Resource

Jamaica may be stepping into a controversial US program designed to relocate “third-country nationals” — individuals the US can’t deport back to their home countries. Reports suggest a Jamaican official volunteered the country for this arrangement, sparking outrage and urgent questions. Critics, including the PNP Women’s Movement, demand transparency: Who approved this? What’s Jamaica’s gain? And most critically, would convicted child abusers and other serious offenders be among those relocated? Concerns mount over screening, monitoring, and community safety — especially as officials claim only 25 people at a time would be accepted, with breaks in between, despite claims that 94% would eventually return — a contradiction that deepens the unease.
