Still wearing their US immigration detention garb, the four Jamaican fishermen who were aboard ‘Lady Lawla’ arrive at the Norman Manley International Airport yesterday.
The four Jamaican fishermen who returned from the United States last evening were in high spirits, and their relatives were relieved to have them safely back home after more than two months detained in the US without charge after being accused of drug trafficking in what lawyers have called a breach of their rights.
The men have reportedly been left traumatised by their detention, which started on October 11, when their boat,
Lady Lawla, was boarded by the United States Coast Guard. Their ordeal ended yesterday, when they were released from US custody.
Bollinger Shipyards to build four additional FRCs for Coast Guard
The President of the United States signed into law the omnibus spending bill for Fiscal Year 2021, which included funding for four more Sentinel-class Fast Response Cutters (FRC), allowing Bollinger to build and deliver four more FRCs to the United States Coast Guard. This increases the total number of funded boats to 64, Bollinger Shipyards said in a press release.
“It’s a great honor to have the confidence of the U.S. Congress to continue the work we’re doing in support of the U.S. Coast Guard,” said Bollinger Shipyards President & CEO Ben Bordelon. “The Fast Response Cutter program is something we’re all proud of here in Louisiana. Delivering vessels on schedule and on budget to the Coast Guard during these challenging times shows the determination and resiliency of our workforce.”
