  • People removed to Saint Kitts and Nevis: The report must compile all available credible information on alleged abuses including arbitrary arrest, detention, torture, due process violations, enforced disappearances, unlawful killings, trafficking, and the legal status and treatment of non‑citizens removed there.
  • U.S. safeguards and reviews: It would require the State Department to describe steps the U.S. Government has taken to promote human rights, to disassociate U.S. security assistance from abusive practices, to conduct individualized pre‑removal assessments, and to ensure opportunities for removed persons to show persecution or receive legal status.
  • Risk, agreements, and records: The statement must assess whether U.S. security assistance could support rendition or detention, evaluate detention conditions, provide any agreements or financial transactions related to removals, list individuals sent in 2025 and 2026, and summarize 2025–2026 meetings between Saint Kitts and Nevis and U.S. officials.
