Anti-Vax Christian Family Flees To Dominica To Avoid COVID Mandates, Gets Deported On Firearms Charges

The Daily Mail reports:

An anti-vax family of Christian missionaries from Indiana who fled to the Caribbean to avoid COVID mandates has been kicked off the island of Dominica. Jason and Jennifer Grogg packed up their entire lives and moved their four children to the Caribbean island of Dominica in 2021 to avoid getting vaccinated amidst the COVID pandemic.

In Spring 2023 the pair were arrested alongside their two teenage daughters after police found a handgun and ammunition which they had stored in a shipping container during the move.

Jason, who was a firearms instructor, was not legally allowed to have any of his guns and ammunition in Dominica – but he claimed the weaponry was “accidentally packed up” and shipped all the way to the Caribbean.

The Indianapolis Star reports:

Grogg said his family moved to Dominica  in 2021 to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and to start a new life free of Covid-related restrictions. Jason Grogg said he pleaded guilty to the the weapons possession charge. He also paid a fine of about $9,250.

Grogg claims Dominica’s government unjustly and illegally prosecuted his family. In the months prior to this deportation, a defiant Grogg has publicly criticized the island’s prime minister and government in local radio interviews and on social media.

“I guess the wicked government of Dominica is just going to dump us in Miami and expect us to find our way when everything we own is in Dominica,” he said. “They gave us about five minutes to pack thing. I had no money. I had my wallet. My ID — they took that from me.”

Of note, Dominica is one of the six Caribbean nations that continues to criminalize homosexuality. Check out Grogg’s rants below.
