Woman terrorized by Immigration officers may sue

Read storyA woman who said she and her daughter were unnecessarily terrified by officers from the Immigration Department said she may be planning to sue.

Violet Hanna, 41, and her daughter Amber, 7, were sleeping when she claims the officers broke apart the gate securing the backyard of her Nassau Village home and broke a hinge on her back door during a 4am inspection on February 24.

Hanna said the officers left the maul they used to break her gate and door but have still not arranged to repair the damage.

Immigration Minister Branville McCartney said he would personally investigate the matter and Ms Hanna spoke with him last Friday but has not heard from him since.

Her daughter was in hospital for pneumonia which she said they both got after the incident.

Hanna said she has hired a lawyer and is looking into security bars in an effort to feel safe in her home again.
