posted (December 12, 2008)

She’s famous for her “two-cents question of the day” on the WUB Show on Krem TV but if you haven’t seen Ya Ya Marin Coleman for a while, it’s because she’s locked down at a detention facility in Florida. According to today’s Amandala, Marin Coleman was flying to New York to attend a conference but was taken off the plane in North Carolina.

According to the Amandala she was detained on a federal charge having to do with immigration and alleged voting in a U.S. election. Marin Coleman who is a British citizen had lived in the United States for years with an American husband and child. She returned to Belize a few years ago while her attorney was trying to clear up her legal problems.

But they weren’t clear, and according to the Amandala she was flying to New York on the hope of some kind of diplomatic waiver. But Uncle Sam doesn’t play that and now Marin Coleman is in detention awaiting a hearing which is scheduled for February.
