Grenada Denies Engagement With Trump To Host Deported Migrants

Grenada Refutes Claims of U.S. Migrant Deportation Discussions Amid Trump Policy Concerns

The Government of Grenada has firmly denied engaging in discussions or receiving proposals from any country, including the United States, regarding the deportation of migrants. This clarification comes in response to widespread concerns following allegations about the Trump administration’s plans to deport migrants to third-party nations, with Grenada named as one of the potential destinations.

In an official statement, the Office of the Prime Minister addressed the claims, stating, “The Government of Grenada has not engaged in any discussions regarding the deportation of migrants to Grenada from any country, including the United States of America. Furthermore, no proposal at all has been presented by any country, including the United States of America, to the Government of Grenada regarding such a matter.”

These remarks come after an alleged NBC News article suggested that the Trump administration is planning to deport certain migrants to countries other than their own. Grenada was reportedly listed among several nations under consideration.

The controversy has drawn parallels with similar reports involving other Caribbean nations. The Bahamas recently rejected a purported proposal from the Trump transition team to accept deportation flights of migrants from other countries. Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis’s office confirmed that the plan was reviewed and “firmly rejected,” emphasizing that their immigration policies remain guided by national interests.

President-elect Donald Trump has publicly expressed intentions to declare a national emergency as part of his administration’s broader efforts to enforce stricter immigration policies. This move is expected to involve mass deportations, particularly targeting migrants residing in the United States without legal documentation.

Grenada’s Immigration Act provides a comprehensive legal framework for managing immigration, including specific procedures for deportation and defining conditions under which individuals may be considered prohibited aliens. Authorities in Grenada have reiterated their commitment to handling immigration affairs in alignment with these laws and in the best interests of their citizens.

As the Trump administration prepares to implement its policies, Caribbean nations, including Grenada, are closely monitoring developments to gauge potential impacts. Grenadian officials maintain that no external agreements or discussions have taken place on this issue and that they remain committed to safeguarding the country’s sovereignty and immigration standards.
