Immigration officers detained 17 Haitian nationals during a pre-dawn raid in Nassau on Wednesday, as part of a targeted enforcement effort dubbed “Operation Morning Glow.”
The operation, conducted by the Department of Immigration’s Enforcement Unit, took place between 3am and 6am across several areas of Central New Providence, including Podoleo Street, Eneas Court, Margaret Avenue, and Lincoln Boulevard.
The group taken into custody included six women and 11 men, all reportedly held for immigration-related offences, including overstaying their legal time in The Bahamas.
Following their arrest, all individuals were transported to the Carmichael Road Detention Centre for processing.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether any of the detainees will face prosecution or deportation. The department has pledged to continue routine enforcement exercises amid ongoing concerns about illegal migration and compliance with immigration laws.
