CARICOM country Guyana named in new UK list of 'deport now, appeal later' countries

Excerpt from jamaica-gleaner.com
LONDON, CMC – Guyana is the lone Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country named among 15 new countries under the United Kingdom’s “deport now, appeal later” scheme, as the European country seeks to return foreigners who commit crimes in the UK to their homelands before they can appeal the decision.
London has also named Canada, India, and Australia to the new list, bringing the total number of participating countries to 23. The UK Home Office says more could be added in the future.
The other countries named are Angola, Botswana, Brunei, Bulgaria, Indonesia, Kenya, Latvia, Lebanon, Malaysia, Uganda, and Zambia.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says the expansion of the scheme is intended to prevent foreign criminals from “exploiting” the UK’s immigration system and to fast-track their removals.
Under the new scheme, foreign nationals whose claims have been refused will be expelled from the UK and will be allowed to participate in their appeal hearings remotely from their home countries via video link.
