TWO illegal migrants from Haiti, suspects in a weapons and drug-smuggling operation between Jamaica and Haiti, would be deported, police said Saturday.
The two men would be returned to Haiti after serving a 10-day sentence for illegally entering Jamaica, said a police spokesman, Odale Mulgrave.

Two Jamaicans also appeared during the January 5 hearing and one was charged with aiding the Haitians' illegal entry. The other was not charged.
All four men were arrested on December 30 in Clarendon, located some 60 miles west of Kingston.

Police have been investigating a weapons and illegal drug-smuggling ring involving Haitians and Jamaicans for many months, said Assistant Police Commissioner and task force commander for Operation Kingfish Glenmore Hinds.

According to Hinds, the smuggling rings are headed by Haitians who fled their homeland to Jamaica in early 2004 to escape fighting between supporters of deposed president Jean-Bertrand Aristide and rebel forces.
