As the future US president looks to fulfill promises to address immigration, the Bahamas said that it has turned down a plan to accept deported migrants from the incoming Trump government.
According to a source, Donald Trump’s administration has created a list of nations to which it intends to deport migrants should their home countries reject them.

However, the Bahamas, a popular Caribbean travel destination, declared that it had “reviewed and firmly rejected” the Trump idea.
According to Prime Minister Philip Davis’ office, the island’s government has rejected, “a proposal from the Trump transition team in the United States for The Bahamas to accept deportation flights of migrants from other countries.”
“Since the Prime Minister’s rejection of this proposal, there has been no further engagement or discussions with the Trump transition team,” the statement noted.
According to individuals who spoke to NBC, the Trump administration is also thinking about Turks & Caicos, Panama, and Grenada.
