(CMC) – The United States (US) Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says it has signed a landmark Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) enabling a Biometric Data Sharing Partnership with the Caribbean Community (Caricom) Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS).
DHS said on Friday that the MOC was signed in Washington by Rob Law, Under Secretary of Strategy, Policy, & Plans for DHS, and Lieutenant Colonel Michael Jones, executive director for Caricom Impacs.
The Ambassador of St Kitts and Nevis hosted the signing ceremony with attendees from Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, DHS said.
It said representatives from the US Homeland Security Council and the US Department of State also attended the ceremony.
“The signing of this memorandum of cooperation marks DHS’s first multilateral biometric information-sharing arrangement,” said Under Secretary Rob Law. “This will strengthen cooperation between DHS and Caricom Impacs on border security and immigration vetting.
“DHS welcomes this new partnership to strengthen security across the region,” he added.
DHS said the MOC establishes a framework for automated queries and exchanges of data to support screening, vetting, and investigation of individuals who may pose security or immigration risks to the United States and Caricom member states and associate members.
In addition, DHS said the MOC addresses the Eastern Caribbean’s Citizenship-by-Investment programmes.
The DHS noted that US Presidential Proclamation 10998 states that “purchased citizenship can be used to bypass travel restrictions or conceal identity and assets; as such, it imposes certain visa restrictions on Citizenship-by-Investment nationals.”
“Information shared through the BDSP program strengthens vetting practices and addresses some of the risks identified in the Proclamation, while leaving visa and 212(f) authorities unchanged,” DHS said.
The US State Department also said that the MOC marks a significant step by Caribbean countries in alignment with US immigration integrity and border security standards.
DHS and Caricom Impacs said they aim to operationalise the MOC by the end of the year.

For those who does not understand the Donald’s and Marco Rubio agenda, well it couldn’t be more clearly spelt for you folks who doesn’t understand that freedom of movement is the most detrimental tool to any criminal organizations or persons.
You but pin down a criminal to one area, you have him cornered, and criminals do not like that. They do not like to be backed in a corner like dogs, and that’s why they seek out CBI nations, not because of the beautiful sures of the Caribbean..
So get you’ll heads right and understand what drugs and white color crimes have done to mankind on a whole..and though the world is not perfect, and stand with anyone who is trying to put a stop to the poison that has been introduced to the Carribean by these drug cartels. Not to mention the scamming and pozi schemes that have ruined many a lives and bank accounts of our elders.
I applaud Andrew Holiness for what he’s trying to do in Jamaica, for the efforts he has made to prosecute or expedite scammers to the US to face charges. Many of us have families that are victims of some sort of crime, so we understand the implications of not pursuing justice.
For too long a blind eye has been turned to the open corruption and criminal protection in the Carribean. The days of “who you know” should be stamped out. Too many criminal sympathisers around..and because a white or those of a different hue comes with a little money, we worship them like they are Gods, just like how the likes of Allen Sanford was worshipped in Antigua with his scamming money.
Well here it is now..This Trump administration has brought it broad in the open for all to see. He has blown up boats, levy sanctions, restrict visa privileges, arrested presidents, and have asked for partnership in accepting deportees from foreign nations.
No one can say now that they haven’t gotten the memo..No turning back now folks .the cart is already bolted..you get on board with stamping out criminals across the Carribean, or you stand out in the cold. It’s time for the Carribean to come back to what it once was. No more hiding out for criminals.
They all should be expedited and face charges for their criminal acts. The small man just keep going to jail, while the man on the hill keep getting a slap on the wrist.
That is bad, I thought better of motley, do you allow a villain to come.in your house to secure you? They gave america military power over our Caribbean islands that could attract their enemies to target us as proxy of the USA.
