The Grenada government denies claims that the island will be one of the jurisdictions that the incoming Donald Trump Administration has identified to send deportation flights for its promised mass deportation program.

“The Office of the Prime Minister advises that the Government of Grenada has not discussed the deportation of migrants to Grenada. Furthermore, no proposal has been presented regarding this matter,” according to a statement issued by the Dickon Mitchell administration.

“This clarification comes amidst concerns raised surrounding an NBC news article claiming that the incoming Trump Administration plans to deport some migrants to some countries other than they own,” the statement added.

On Thursday, the Bahamas government issued a brief statement stating that it had turned down “a proposal from the Trump transition team in the United States for The Bahamas to accept deportation flights of migrants from other countries”.
