A 32-year-old American national, who claimed that he came to Belize seeking asylum, has been deported to the North American country after he appeared in court.
The Magistrate Court heard that Gregory Aaron Brown of Connecticut had lived illegally in Belize.
When he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Tricia Pitts-Anderson on an immigration offense, Brown was handed a non-custodial sentence but was unable to pay a fine of BDZ$1,000 (One Belize dollar=US$0.49 cents).
A removal order has since been granted and Brown must be deported to the United States within two weeks of paying his fine or completing his sentence.
