The Ministry of Border Control and Labour confirmed tonight that 16 Cuban migrants who were caught illegally entering the TCI on October 2nd last year – and released by a judge on bail – have absconded.
Apparently, they travelled to Miami over the past weekend.
The Ministry says details surrounding their escape from Providenciales are sketchy and are being investigated by the Police, Immigration and Customs Departments and other relevant agencies.
Here’s Chris Jarrett with more.
“Due to the sensitive nature of this incident, TCIG says it must ensure that the outcome of this investigation is not jeopardized. The Ministry has pledged, however, that the public will be kept informed.
Unclassified information that has not yet been reported will be released when it becomes available.
TCIG says border agencies will continue to protect the country’s borders.
It is asking for patience, understanding and cooperation from the public.
Individuals who have information and by so doing bring the investigation to a speedy conclusion, are encouraged to contact the Police or the Immigration Department.
The Ministry has told RTC that five Cuban nationals who did not seek release through the court remain in detention at the Five Cays Detention Center and are awaiting feedback from their asylum application.”
This is Chris Jarrett reporting for RTC News.
