Episode Details

Saint Lucia and the U.S. just signed a non-binding deal to deport third-country nationals — but don’t expect immediate action. The U.S. can propose transfers of individuals with final removal orders and medical clearance, while Saint Lucia gets the final say — and has strict exclusions like minors, citizens, or those with serious criminal records. A hard cap of ten per quarter keeps things limited. But here’s the catch: Saint Lucia’s tiny government is worried about the financial strain. They’ve already submitted detailed cost estimates to Washington and are negotiating with the UN’s migration agency for funding support. No transfers yet — everything’s on hold until financial terms are locked in. Expect updates as this delicate dance unfolds.
