Nunez claims that not only was he not allowed to enter but they turned him back with a scratched up passport. And now they are seeking legal action through their attorney Arthur Saldivar.

"Now when I invited Mr Dun to come to Belize he was working in a restaurant in Jamaica in Mobay and I invited him for 2 weeks vacation. He came here with his police record just to prove that this young man is a citizen of Jamaica and has not entangled with the law nothing, he also had his proof to show that this young man is a chef. All his documents he travelled with and when he arrived at the Belize airport I was there my husband was there in his uniform he had just came off duty so we went to the airport to receive Mr Dunn. When he went up to the immigration desk to get cleared they informed him to contact me to come and represent him. I got the message from him so I went up there to speak to the immigration officer, Ms Dalia Mai she stopped me and said to my face that when they finish clearing him they will let him outside, so she said I must go outside to the door and stand. My husband then said to her I am Mr Nunez and I am also here to clear him, he said I am here with my wife so she said he must go outside and cannot be around this area. So he said I have already claimed for family members and they did not inform him of that."

"We went to the airport and he tried to call and they stated that this young man was entering the country on false declaration. I said to him what is false about his declaration? He stated that he is here to see me, Mrs Nunez and Mr Nunez, he had our social, both my social and my husband social, he had my husband police ID, so what is false about the declaration? THey said that I should have declared that him and I are a relative, which Mr Saldivar did that. He sent a letter, my marriage license, my apostille everything. When we went back to the airport they said she was not at work. I stayed at the airport from morning to the evening, no information from her, no response, nothing. Friday I went back to the immigration, only for them to tell Mr Saldivar that he is already checked in to be on the flight, deportation. However they said that they did not deport."

"But this is the problem that I am having, Zoom in on this for me please. What right and grounds did Ms Mai have to mark up in this young man passport, they say that he did not have any cash? This is all the bank statements stating that this young man card, Mr Dunn have on cash. Did she take him to the ATM and do a withdrawal? Did she did her job properly? No she didn't. She claims that the card is fraud and it is not his card I heard on the call because I was in the car with Mr Saldivar when they told him that the card is not his and the card is empty. So I want her to please explain to me where she get that information and explain to me. Why did you do this to his passport? And what does this mean because I have asked more than one immigration in Belize and nobody can explain to me why this passport has been done like this."

"From what I received from him he says she was the one that dealt with him because when he went up there as you can see there is a stamp in his book so at first before she got into an interaction with me and my husband the officer did stamp the book."

"It was not Ms Mai? Someone else stamped him in?"

Tamar Nunez, Belizean Resident
"Yes they allowed him in, she did this, so whatever this would have meant she cancelled the 6 months so that is what I am grafting from this that she has cancelled the six months but you can cancel the six months but you are not allowed to do it like this in the passport. She destroyed this young man's passport. And she has to be held accountable because this is illegal."

"If you are not deporting him you just simply write a letter stating that he did not fit the requirements and put it inside the passport like this and give it back to him. I was denied entrance in two countries and my passport was never touched. It is against the CARICOM law to vandalise a different nation passport. This is the government's property of Jamaica."

We reached out to the CEO for the Ministry of Immigration Tanya Santos and she told us that Dunn had indeed made a false declaration, and there is evidence in their possession which shows this. As for the marking of "RLL" in the passport - she says that is standard and at no point was he given a 6 month approval to stay in Belize.
