One escaped migrant remains at large after two escaped from an immigration detention centre in the Cayman Islands.
A pair of male Cuban migrants broke out of the Fairbanks Immigration Detention Centre on Saturday, February 7. One of the escapees has since been returned, but the other is still unaccounted for. It is unclear how they escaped.
Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control media liaison officer, Cameca Parker, reported that “one of the escapees has since returned to the detention facility. Efforts are ongoing to locate the second individual”.
According to Customs and Border Control, “there is no information to suggest that the individual poses a threat to the wider community”, however, they instruct the public to remain vigilant.

The two men are believed to have arrived in Little Cayman on a small boat last week. The Cayman Islands are located just below Cuba in the Caribbean Sea.
There is growing concern that the Cayman Islands will have to deal with an influx of Cuban migrants in the coming months due to growing economic instability in Cuba. The country is facing its most severe economic crisis in over 30 years, marked by a deep recession, food shortages, and power outages.
