MV Bulk Freedom
A four day ordeal, consisting of intense negotiations between the Cayman Islands Government and Cuban migrants that disappeared at sea and were rescued by a bulk carrier en route to the Panama Canal, has ended.
The situation began to unfold on April 5, when the Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control Service (CBC) confirmed that electronic monitoring devices that monitored locally-based Cuban migrants had lost connection at sea, and as a result CBC had been unable to verify their whereabouts. This confirmation was made, following reports received from the Department of Public Safety Communications (DPSC) the night before.

County officials are currently hammering out the details for the next fiscal year’s budget, which the County Board is slated to adopt on Saturday, April 17 and which will go into effect on July 1. The proposed $1.36 billion budget, which County Manager Mark Schwartz calls a “transition” budget, includes a COVID-19 contingency fund and $16.4 million in cuts.
And while the pandemic forced some revisions to the current 2020-21 budget, the pandemic has not changed the different buckets of spending by the county from Arlington Public Schools to the Department of Parks and Recreation and what proportion of the general fund these sectors receive.
