Source- Real News Antigua- Two Jamaican females escaped from the Immigration Department’s detention facility at Coolidge on Sunday, January 21, sources tell REAL News.
Reports claim the two detainees, a student and a hairdresser, made good their escape through a bathroom window – the glass of which they allegedly broke – while the four officers on duty allegedly were entertaining themselves and engrossed in a television programme.

Other reports say the officers searched the environs for the two escapees, but they were not found.
The two women – who reportedly had not been located up to Sunday night – reportedly had been sponsored by a Trinidad and Tobago national who holds an Antigua and Barbuda passport.
This is the third occasion in recent times in which detainees have broken out of the Immigration Centre.
In the most egregious case, five Haitians escaped and were never found.
The Department failed to report that matter to the public and admitted it only after the story was broken by REAL News.
In another hushed-up incident that the Department later acknowledged, several Indians who were due to be deported left the hotel at which they were staying and also disappeared.
In both instances, sources said these persons were all smuggled out of the country by boat.
Our Newsroom will report on this latest instance as more information comes to hand.

poor Richard Lewis. Dem nah want you, but u til a edge up ya self.
what the man cow have against JAMAICAN so eh? Then Bruce Goodwin have de heart to call dem PAUPERS!!!
The Darg found his foot in his neck rope, he is very off-balance and will be on his back very soon. Talk about that; prove your loyalty.
“Man cow 🐮”, who yah talk ’bout @ Hmmmmm?
Is the out of sorts, out of touch, and under qualified Katrina ‘Nepo Baby’ Yearwood, the Head of the Immigration Department?
MUST BE …
*it
@HMMMMMMMMMM: Are you a dumb arse? Matters such as these affects all of us in Antigua.This thing is getting out of hand.Where persons are detained by our Immigration Department for what ever the reasons.Then they escaped due to negligence by those responsible for our security.I do not know.What Richard Lewis and his wife have to do with it.The is the responsibility of the Minister of Immigration the Chief Immigration Officer and Senior Staffs.They should all be damn well FIRED.
What the hell is going on in Antigua. Antigua mash up lovely Antigua is no more.
@ Blessed
Nothing mysterious here. You collectively are being kept poor, ignorant, and needy. Stay blessed!
Tell the Immigration Officers to do their work properly and the detainees would not escape from them.All them immigration Officers good for is to dress up and look good and they don’t know how to do their job.
@ The Peeping Tom,
The head of the Immigration Department Katrina Yearwood is to blame. She’s been AWOL since the high influx of the Africans that entered Antigua, and we’ve still not heard a pip-squeak from her over the missing Haitians 🇭🇹 and Indians 🇮🇳 on her watch.
Probably too busy buying up Gucci bags!
The collusion by the few, is quiet telling, and most wanting of a conscientious reprieve. Just look at the amount of vetting it take for a citizen of the soil must adhere to just to open a local bank account. Shouldn’t there be a much more robust vetting for someone to enter into our sovereign borders or ports of entrance for a stay of residency: Such as a police record from the port of embarkment, Such as to weed out persons who are deemed persona-none-grata; and of a nefarious background? Ah! This might be a bit too much to ask for, knowing that the powers that be, do pander for none nationals vote at election times. And like the known narrative as foretold: Antigua ( unlike Barbuda) no belong to none baddy. Tiratid! A foda ‘e fa? Will the real Antiguans with backbones and, cojohnas, please stand up! Enough already.
That is not surprising. ANTIGUA HAS THE MOST INCOMPETENT people, literally the most unqualified people deciding whether the qualified is qualified. That place is dunce.
Improperly trained fire-arms and in law is telling you that is overly qualified whether you qualify or not.
nobody at all noticing the incompetence but me?
Why is there paspport information being shared though?
The average IQ score for Antigua and Barbuda is 99% which denotes normal or average intelligence. The independent research was conducted by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen for their book IQ and The Wealth of Nations. The literacy rate is 98.95% as per the World Bank’s research data which means the majority of its citizens over the age of 15 can read and write.
Antiguans and Barbudans are not dunce, the fault is primarily due to the negative impact of colonialism, corruption and poor governance. My way of helping as you are well learned as you constantly claim on this portal, I believe you will be familiar with the outcome with interactions between the informed minority and an uninformed majority. The philosopher Hagel wrote – One of the tragedies of History is that we appear never to learn anything from History at all, and we become its puppets.
I have perused a few of your comments and you are apparently a brilliant multi-millionaire and what I find odd is not even Allen Stanford found it necessary to state that he was financially well-off, well he was a scuba diving instructor in Montserrat at one point, one only needs to believe in oneself. My family’s surname and blood are deep in Antigua’s soil as we are descendants of the first landed slaves. We do not brag of wealth, but our name is known, and you sir/madam strike me as a charlatan perhaps that is why the government does not wish to conduct business with you, six and half a dozen as it were or as Jamaicans will say – Tief never lub fu see tief wid long bag.
I wish you well in your future endeavors.
My way of helping is the spoiled entitled child of a former police officer who shot a cripple and man. He really thinks people don’t know him or his family history. There is a reason why they refused to issue him with a firearm license!!!
” Self-praise is no recommendation” comes to mind. Constantly praising himself/herself on their qualifications, real or imagined, yet often finding it difficult to write a simple sentence without poor grammar. My guess is their so-called qualifications came from a online correspondence course organized by a scammer of sorts. I remember while a teenager, seeing courses of all sorts being advertised in comics or similar magazines at the end of which successful students were granted certificates of high achievement. Someone I knew was actually qualified as a Police Superintendent on one of these sham courses. Of course his certificate qualified only for the bathroom.
Please forgive me for digressing from the topic at hand, but please indulge me.
I must say, that the commentaries on the ANR threads have improved considerably over the years.
In the not too distant past, the alternative viewpoint was normally met with cussing, cursing and incoherent ramblings, just because so many of the FORUMITES were unable or incapable of expressing themselves correctly in the written word.
I never believed that these responses was the norm; and I fought tooth and nail to redress this imbalance, because the the Antiguans I deal with on a day to day basis are bright and erudite.
Even reading the correspondence on this topic (whether I agree or not) gladdens my heart.
I congratulate the editorial team at the Antigua News Room for the work they are doing.
As the saying goes: “Out of small acorns, great oak trees are grown”
THANKS FOR THE INDULGENCE.
Do we have an immigrant smuggling operation being run out of Antigua by people in high places? Has to be when people are being held by immigration, only to disappear and not seen or heard from again.
