You can now listen to Antigua News articles!
The son, Sanjaye Kemar Morgan, was in custody of immigration officials when he escaped lawful custody on Sunday around 6:00 am.
He was apprehended on Saturday for being in the country illegally and was being held to be brought before a magistrate when he escaped from the immigration detention centre on the Sir George Walter Highway. However, his time at large was however short-lived as he was recaptured several hours later.
During the search for Morgan, the immigration officials apprehended his mother, Susan Stephenson, who is now being held for failing to regularize her status in the country since 2020.
One immigration official said those who aided and abetted Morgan or any other person on the run from the immigration department will bear the full brunt of the laws of Antigua and Barbuda.
Both mother and son are expected in court on Monday for a hearing prior to their deportation from the state
Deportation for both
Is it a case where we can say now that the government system is finally doing their jobs? Or is all this for play??
How can people be like this? If you know you’re not legal than do the right thing or just go back home.
O yes he is doing his job
Good question, Yolanda! This is mere window dressing, I think. Picking up one or two and deporting them conceals the hundreds that are boldly walking the streets of St. John’s plying their trade – theft, drive-by shooting, gang warfare and other sub-human, yardie/alien cultural practices. Happy that they nabbed five. Would be much happier if they nabbed five hundred.
It is both foolish and childish to judge a person’s character based on the crimes committed by others of the same nationality. This type of reasoning is flawed on multiple levels and fails to respect the basic principles of individual dignity and responsibility. Allow me to present three compelling reasons why this mindset is not only unjust but dangerously shortsighted.
First and foremost, individuals are not defined by their nationality but by their actions. To assume that one person must share the traits, choices, or moral failings of others simply because they share a national identity ignores the complexity and uniqueness of human beings. People are shaped by their personal experiences, values, and decisions, not by an arbitrary association with others of the same background. The notion that a person is guilty by association is intellectually lazy and morally bankrupt.
Secondly, this kind of thinking promotes prejudice and fuels dangerous stereotypes. When we allow ourselves to equate entire groups with the actions of a few, we not only distort reality but also perpetuate harmful biases. This generalization creates a fertile ground for xenophobia, discrimination, and hostility, which can lead to a breakdown in social harmony. Imagine if every nationality were judged solely on the worst actions of a few individuals—no group would escape condemnation.
Finally, such judgment undermines the possibility for understanding and progress. Instead of addressing the root causes of issues like crime or violence, it diverts attention to scapegoating. If we truly want to tackle problems that affect society, we must focus on systemic factors like poverty, education, and opportunity, rather than casting blame on entire nationalities. Judging individuals based on nationality distracts from real solutions and encourages division rather than unity.
In conclusion, it is both intellectually weak and morally wrong to judge someone based on the actions of others from their nationality. We must rise above such shallow thinking and strive to see people for who they truly are—unique individuals, each deserving to be judged on their own merit.

Pastor Courvoisier
