Two men of Haitian origin Roberto Carlo and Ronal Jvoril, who had already been arrested for the first time in an irregular migration situation, in the Turks and Caicos Islands and sentenced to 6 months in prison and then deported to Haiti, attempted for the second time enter the territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands illegally, in violation of migration laws and were arrested again with another illegal Haitian.
