Police Department Awaits Deported Belizeans

At the age of 78, Donald J. Trump has officially been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday. His return makes Trump the only the second former president in U.S. history to return to office. Trump took the oath of office in an intimate ceremony inside the Capitol Rotunda.

Trump wasted no time outlining his bold agenda. “All of this changes starting today,” Trump said, adding his pledge to reverse what he called the “horrible betrayal” of the previous administration. He announced plans for over 100 executive actions on his first day, including increasing oil production, declaring a national emergency at the southern border, sealing the U.S.-Mexico border, and beginning mass deportations of immigrants in the country illegally.

When asked about the potential impact of these policies on Belize, Commissioner of Police Chester Williams commented, “Let’s congratulate President Trump for taking office today… It’s a historic moment for America, and certainly the world is watching—the world is waiting to see what is going to happen.”

He added that Belize would monitor the return of deported individuals, particularly those wanted by local authorities to face charges. “In terms of the people that will be sent back to Belize… we will wait to see who will be coming back. We certainly are looking forward to certain people coming back that are wanted by the police to face charges here in Belize. So, we welcome them,” Williams said.
