Trump Sent Another Charter Plane with Thirteen Belizeans

It didn’t make headlines, but last Thursday a charter flight from the Trump administration quietly touched down at the Phillip Goldson International Airport, bringing home thirteen Belizean deportees. Today, Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith shared that only one of the returnees is required to check in with police weekly. She also gave an update on Jody Rhamdas, who was detained after arriving on a previous deportation flight.

“Yes we can confirm that a flight came in with approximately thirteen individuals. One compliance letter was issued. The other person was not issued with compliance letter. This is the letter provided for under the Summary  Jurisdiction Offenses Act, which requires the deported person to sign in at a station convenient to their address during a period stated in the letter.”
