AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Immigration & Work Rights: Jamaican flight attendant Lorenzo Thompson was detained by U.S. ICE in Nashville while working for Southwest, with ICE saying he overstayed a visa since 2021—while supporters claim he has a pending asylum case and valid work authorisation. Community Safety: Jamaica’s child-protection debate is reignited after the killing of 10-year-old Shani Coke in Trelawny; the PNP Women’s Movement and children’s advocates are calling for stronger psycho-social support, faster action, and an end to “jungle justice.” Education Reform Watch: The Education Transformation Oversight Committee reports 43% progress on implementing the JETC’s 365 recommendations, with governance, teaching/learning and TVET driving the push. Public Health: A Manchester medical officer urges parents to ensure children are fully immunised to prevent outbreaks like measles. Culture & Film: The short film “Cocoa Tea” was selected for two regional festivals, spotlighting Vincentian storytelling and local creative jobs. Sports & Youth: CARICOM confirms Guyana will host the 2027 CARIFTA Games, with Jamaica topping the 2026 medal table in Grenada. Lifestyle & Events: Registration opens for Jamaica’s inaugural Urban Forest Run (Aug. 23), linking fitness with forest restoration after Hurricane Melissa.
