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.

This useless ALP government is already on the phone begging for America’s illegals.
@Mr Byam….. You reveal how much of an idiot you are each time you open that gutter that you have for a mouth. Bitterness will cause you to drop dead one of these fine days.
If you are in the US illegally or in deportation proceedings, please do contact my office for the help you need.
@mr.Byam, can you prove that? The government should engage you for thiss slander.
Antigua cldnt be that crazy to be accepting illegal immigrants. For what? We have job for Antiguans?
Antigua shld not be getting involved in this nonsense
Our Caribbean countries should enact a law that states that persons living outside of their countries for X number of years would not be taken back if deported. Why? Many persons might have been born in other countries but raised in the US, and when the “system spoils them”, they are quick to send them back via deportation. These deportations hurt our Caribbean countries because you’re looking at hard core criminals at times who come and negatively impact our societies. You spoil them, you keep them.
Haven’t we been involved in worse than that? See if you can recall that 13 Africans drowned between Antigua and St.Kitts on March 29 2023. I think that you get it and that’s just one of very many cases. For the right price and with these people at the helm, anything is possible.
