The U.S. is in talks with Jamaica for working with the government in immigration enforcement operations. Specifically, Jamaica serves as another potential recipient of the third country removal agreement. According to ABC News, the third country removal agreement lets the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) send up to twenty-five people from other countries to Jamaica every two weeks.
Since January 2025, the government issued third country removal notices for more than nineteen thousand countries other than their country of origin. Most were sent to Mexico, while others went to countries across Latin America and Africa. A U.S. federal court struck down third country removals in February 2026. Ruling the U.S. government can’t send individuals to unrelated countries without proper notice.
