Five more Trinidad and To­ba­go cit­i­zens have been de­port­ed from the Unit­ed States, a state­ment by the US Em­bassy in Port-of-Spain said on Fri­day.

The state­ment said that em­bassy per­son­nel col­lab­o­rat­ed close­ly with T&T part­ners to fa­cil­i­tate the ar­rival of a US Im­mi­gra­tion and Cus­toms En­force­ment de­por­ta­tion char­ter flight at Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port.

The three male and two fe­male Trin­bag­on­ian de­por­tees, rang­ing in age from 19 to 57, and all with sig­nif­i­cant crim­i­nal records, were processed by T&T Cus­toms and Im­mi­gra­tion and po­lice on ar­rival.

One of the de­por­tees, pre­vi­ous­ly de­port­ed from the US, had an out­stand­ing war­rant in T&T for rob­bery.

Rep­re­sen­ta­tives from the Min­istry of So­cial De­vel­op­ment and Fam­i­ly Ser­vice and the NGO Vi­sion on Mis­sion were al­so present to pro­vide es­sen­tial ser­vices to those in need of as­sis­tance.

"The US em­bassy recog­nis­es the valu­able as­sis­tance of Trinidad and To­ba­go Civ­il Avi­a­tion, Trinidad and To­ba­go Cus­toms and Im­mi­gra­tion, TT Air­port Au­thor­i­ty, and the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice for their roles in fa­cil­i­tat­ing the ar­rival of the char­ter flight and re­ceipt and pro­cess­ing of the de­por­tees." the state­ment said.

US Chargé d’Af­faires Dr. Jenifer Nei­d­hart de Or­tiz said, “This lat­est co­op­er­a­tive ef­fort high­lights the close work­ing re­la­tion­ship be­tween our na­tions, our law en­force­ment pro­fes­sion­als, and all lev­els of gov­ern­ment in fa­cil­i­tat­ing a top U.S. ad­min­is­tra­tion pri­or­i­ty to en­sure se­cure our bor­ders.”
