Texas Man Born to U.S. Soldier on U.S. Army Base Abroad Deported to Jamaica
TEXAS, UNITED STATES, JUN 27 – Jermaine Thomas was deported despite never living in Jamaica or holding its citizenship, highlighting legal gaps affecting children born abroad to U.S. military parents, experts say.
- In late May, Jermaine Thomas, born in 1986 on a U.S. Army base in Germany to a U.S. citizen father, was deported to Jamaica despite no ties to the country.
- The U.S. Department of Justice argued in 2015 that Jermaine Thomas did not qualify for citizenship due to his father’s insufficient physical presence, leading to his deportation to Jamaica.
- Following his eviction notice, Thomas was arrested, spent 30 days in jail and 2.5 months in ICE detention, and was shackled onto a deportation flight.
- Stranded in Kingston, Jamaica, Thomas faces statelessness with no support network or country knowledge, uncertain of his next steps.
- Uncertain future legal review underscores a legal gap affecting military children born abroad, as the case highlights unresolved citizenship protections for stateless individuals.
