DEPARTMENT of Immigration apprehension exercises have been suspended in Abaco and Grand Bahama in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian.
This according to Financial Services, Trade and Industry and Immigration Minister Elsworth Johnson.
“As we are presently experiencing a humanitarian crisis in aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, strict instructions have been given to the Immigration Department that our concentration is on assisting with the humanitarian efforts to rescue and save lives regardless of place of origin, nationality or immigration status," he said in a statement on Friday.
“Further, while we are obligated to, and will continue to, secure our borders, all domestic apprehension exercises in the affected areas are suspended. We also invite all in our community to assist as best they can with the humanitarian efforts now underway. God bless you, and God bless the Bahamas.”

The illegal Haitians successive governments were too weak to get rid of for decades will now terrorize Abaco and get rid of Bahamians!
Great job PLP and FNM.

And just think, our dimwitted PM Minnis is relocating many of these same violent illegal Haitian aliens to New Providence where they will quickly be enrolled by the well-established Haitian gangs that have been terrorizing New Providence for the last two decades or more......even the police are now most fearful of them and therefore outrightly avoid and/or refuse to enter certain areas of New Providence.
