Deportee longs to see her four children

One dead, three injured in shooting

children are doing good, I am still suffering,” she lamented.

She told that she went to the US on vacation with her four children and decided to run off.

Within a couple of weeks, she got a job taking care of the elderly, where she was making between US$100 and $200 a week.

She said it was difficult as every three months, she had to move because of her inability to pay rent.

“Working that amount of money is not enough because rent is very expensive ,” she said.

This was physically, emotionally and mentally exhausting for her and the children. During the first couple of years in the US, she said that her children could not even attend school and she struggled to take care of them.

She eventually got married but left her husband soon after as she said he was a drug addict.

But in 2004, she said she got caught by immigration authorities, who were alerted by an elderly man she was taking care of.

He accused her of stealing and she was subsequently deported.

Immigration lawyer Joan Pinnock said that when a person gets deported, there is little chance of them getting a chance to go visit the US again, if they have a criminal record.

In Lisa’s case, she said that depeniding on the amount of money that she stole, it would determine whether or not she would be able to go back.

“Usually, it takes five to 10 years if you are convicted of a criminal activity,” she said.

The police have confirmed that one man was killed and at least three others injured during a shooting incident around 6:24 p.m. on Sunday in Gregory Park, St Catherine.

Dead is warehouse operator Jevon Hudson of Dover Avenue in the parish.

The police’s Corporate Communications Unit could not say what the motive was, neither could it provide further details, as investigators were still processing the scene up to press time.
