US Immigration agents conduct multiple removal flights to Caribbean
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency says it has coordinated with the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in facilitating multiple removal flights, including single adults and family units, to Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica.
On Friday, ICE said that nationals from Angola, Central America, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela were also deported as part of dozens of other routine removal flights conducted throughout the hemisphere and around the world.
Since May 2023, ICE DHS has removed or returned more than 300,000 individuals, including more than 45,000 individual family unit members, to their respective countries.
“Individuals who lack a lawful basis to stay in the United States are ordered removed, consistent with US law,” ICE said. “All individuals who are removed have been screened for protection concerns.
“This policy applies to all noncitizens regardless of nationality to ensure the orderly and humane processing, transfer, and removal of single adults, family units and others determined to be removable,” it added.
ICE said noncitizens placed into removal proceedings receive their due process from immigration judges in the immigration courts, which are administered by the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review.
Due to operational security reasons, ICE said it does not confirm or discuss future or pending transportation operations.
ICE said its Air Operations facilitates the transfer and removal of noncitizens, including family units, via commercial airlines and chartered flights in support of ICE field offices and other DHS initiatives.
In fiscal year 2022, ICE said its Enforcement and Removal Operations conducted 72,177 removals to more than 150 countries worldwide.

I wonder how many persons were deported to Antigua. We should be given a report on the quantity from immigration.
Head of Immigration Department Katrina Yearwood preparing a report on how many criminals being deported to Antigua from the US – give me a break forget dat!
You obviously didn’t see her terrible and incoherent performance @ Lucky Dubie in front of the cameras when she tried to give ACTUAL figures for the Africans that arrived here in Antigua after the Nigerian airline fiasco.
Lamentable to say the least!
Yearwood employed in a position that she is uncapable of of fulfilling, due to nepotism.
The article never say these removal flights were criminals…but we love the gossips and smearing our own people..unlike other Caribbean countries.
All it said…noncitizens….and I would some legal residents who abandoned their immigrant visas.
But interestingly the US 🇺🇸 southern border illegal crossing has quadruple this year alone and they getting free bus ride and housing all over America…that you fu talk bout…the hypocrisy
Do you think non of them have committed a crime that is deported? Everything has to be spelled out for you to use discernment? Saying they are criminals is not even politically appropriate to say and outlining every detail of the various reasons is a tactic by the writers of this article.
How would it sound to say I am sending the worse in one society back to their homelands? Don’t you think that the very concern many have now that wasn’t articulated in this article would still be the same concern? The difference is that they can say they never said so, the very thing you’ve just said.
It was intentional Dexter to not articulate that. Calling them criminals too can be slanderous and can be subjected to lawsuits in the USA depending on the crime and if they already serve time for it which is an indication of paying society for what they did. Had they being US citizens they would be free back in society in the US but most times for others you go back to your home country.
I agree there might be a few that might get deported for working honestly, but most doesn’t, it’s usually for something along the lines of a felony.
*incapable*
You’re 💯 right on this! And we need a database of deportees that come from other countries to settle in Antigua. Some of the crimes happening in Antigua are head-scratching. Just saying …
Boi if wishes were horses !
If someone enters the country legally and overstays in the USA.It is not a Criminal Act.It is a Civil Matter that gets handled in Immigration Court proceedings.That person is not deemed to be a CRIMINAL.
