Have you seen this escaped detainee?
The following is a media release from the Immigration Department.
Chief Immigration Officer, Mr Ian Penn is seeking the public’s assistance to locate Haitian national Ms Elena Milord who escaped detention between the late hours of Wednesday, May 18 and early Thursday, May 19.
Mr. Penn said Ms Milord who was detained by the Immigrant Department escaped from detention at Hotel Castle Maria and remains at large.
According to Mr Penn, the necessary searches are ongoing to locate the detainee and the public is asked to be vigilant as Ms. Milord may present as a male with full facial hair at times.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Ms. Milord are asked please contact the Immigration Department at 468-4705, 468-4717, 468-4715 or 468-4754 or the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force hotline at 311.

They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We need to change the way that these detainees are handled. Nowhere else in the world is putting illegal immigrants in hotels and guesthouses. The Governor is responsible for security. A facility with adequate security is needed as a place to house them while they await trial/deportation. Illegal immigration is a big enough problem that deserves attention. Whoever is responsible for providing security should be fired as escapees are too frequent. Are we waiting for a COI to tell us how to fix this problem or will our leaders use some common sense and fix this problem now.
it really cheaper to let the people them reach st Thomas instead of holding them that escape person just saved the country about 3-5k..
dont have to feed them breakfast lunch and dinner.
dont have to charter a flight to get them back to their country of Origin.. let the people move free
If they do that I’m sure the UK will say that the BVI is corrupt and is assisting in the smuggling of illegal immigrant to the US by deliberately allowing them easy access to US waters.
Maybe it was a lil sex for freedom, who knows?
Is incompetent and needs to go. How many f**kups does his department needs to make before he is kicked out?
Why only now we are hearing about this Milord escaping custody, she probably already land on her home soil.
Ask Ian P and the Security boss who are responsible for detainees security and safety, Why are we keep paying monies to secure people who always escaping? Question for Ian P and Security Boss..This failure is a security risk, The Governor needs to look into this, don’t wait until someone escape and hurt, Rob or jill someone, then we react, Reacting us one thing the BVI very good at..
Ask again! Cha mon! If a System is broken you try and fix it not continue misusing GTax Payers Money by utilising these Services.
cheaper and the country benefits lol the lil 12 a head going get spend back in the country rather than spending it out
Wodda love to see her right now, need a ease.
Maybe it was a lil sex for freedom, who knows?
France should do what’s right and accept all willing Haitian refugees. The Haitians fought for their freedom and won with their blood, sweat and tears only for the French to return two decades later and force them to pay 150 million francs to avoid another war to recognize their freedom. The debts created by repaying former slave masters have crippled Haiti for generations and created generations of poor people to the point where people do anything to escape a living nightmare which is their home in Haiti.
Who can id this person?? Everyone are wearing masks. Time to dump the mask mandate.
It is a shame she is not a member of the Sinaola cartel or the Hezbollah, it would have been easier to get residency.
Why? The justice system in the BVI does not appear fair. I hate to take this position since I believe for the most part in law and order.
Now if she was accused of something more serious like murder, I certainly would drop a dime on her in a New York second.
IMO, just because she is of Haitian decent, her picture is all over the media. There have been so many instances of people who have been accused of very serious crimes and even having escaped Ballo whose pictures never made it to the media. Just some vague description of the subject by skin color, height, and weight.
In these neck of the woods, its who you are or more importantly who you are not that determines how you are treated inclusive of the law.
I disagree with this way of doing things. The law should apply equally to all.
I trust she safely gets back home.
Why they government using this placs? They special rate?
What are you people complaining about? I wish Fahie would escape because feeding him has created food shortages and is driving inflation.
This is a great article if you want to know why Haiti is in such a terrible state and why France and the USA should be held accountable. https://nyti.ms/3lvBJCj
Shouldn’t the scrutiny be on the security company?
