By Aaron Humes: Sometime after 11 this morning, an Airbus 320 jet from the United States arrived at the Philip Goldson International Airport in Ladyville carrying some 150 passengers, but not ordinary ones.
Most were on their way to Peru or Chile in South America but 21 were Belizeans, brought home for various immigration violations, per a U.S. Embassy Belize official.
The group are to be processed at the Queen Street Police Station and released except for one or two who are wanted by police.
The Embassy official indicated most of these individuals were found to have crossed illegally into the U.S. or had overstayed their welcome on official documents and thus had run afoul of the law.
The charter flight was for efficiency purposes as deportees usually return via commercial flights.
More of these flights can be expected as the U.S. tightens immigration checks per domestic policy but Belize has cooperated by being willing to take back its own citizens, though not others.
