Jamaica says 2 citizens deported by US to Eswatini rejected repatriation offers

KINGSTON: Jamaica’s government said two of its three citizens recently deported by the United States to the African kingdom of Eswatini have formally declined offers to be repatriated to the Caribbean nation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said late Thursday that Jamaican officials were still attempting to contact the third citizen. “During the discussion, the men were advised of the consular assistance available to them and of the government’s readiness to facilitate their return to Jamaica,” the Foreign Ministry said.
