A BARBADIAN and a Vincentian are among 47 individuals who have escaped being deported to their homelands under United States President Donald Trump’s new strict immigration policy.
The Barbadian, who was not named, was charged with sexual assault – carnal abuse – while the Vincentian was accused of assault. Both were indicted in New York City.
They were among several individuals from Mexico, Nigeria, Colombia, Ecuador and some other Latin American countries who were released from detention locations throughout the US between February 5 and February 10, without being handed over to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for possible deportation.
ICE yesterday began what is to be a weekly publication of naming jurisdictions that decline to detain immigrants who can be subject to deportation, on its website. (MB)
