The Passport Immigration & Citizenship Agency is probing the deportation to Jamaica of a man claiming to be a United States citizen of a differing name.
The man, said to be Devon Nicely, says he is not Jamaican and his given name is Trevor Anthony Grant.
He arrived from the United States on a chartered flight to Jamaica last Thursday.
PICA says there are established protocols between Jamaica and the United States that guide the deportation of Jamaican nationals, including the presentation of documented evidence by the United States authorities of the nationality and identity of individuals to be deported.
PICA says, in this matter the US authorities provided evidence, including biometric information, and it conducted investigations to verify the authenticity of the Jamaican birth certificate and other information related to Devon Nicely.
The agency says the biometric information, including fingerprints, linked the individual who arrived on the flight as Jamaican National, Devon Nicely.
The man has been invited to visit PICA with supporting documentation to substantiate his assertion that he is a US citizen.
