Between April 1st and 13th, operations were conducted by the Enforcement Unit and the Maritime Revenue Task Force (MRETF) across New Providence, Grand Bahama, and Abaco. These operations resulted in the apprehension of one hundred eight (108) Haitian nationals, two (2) Jamaican nationals, two (2) Turkish nationals, and one national each from Canada, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Zambia.

The Enforcement Unit operations led to the arrest of individuals for various immigration-related offences, including Illegal Landing, Overstaying, Engaging in Gainful Occupation Without Authorization, Attempting to Mislead an Immigration Officer, and Unlawful Use of a Forged Document.

Immigration officers attached to the MRETF apprehended individuals involved in similar violations in the Abaco Cays, and a total of $23,600.00 in immigration revenue was collected during this operation. All individuals were transported to the Carmichael Road Detention Centre for further processing and investigation. They have since appeared in the Magistrate’s Court.

The Department of Immigration remains committed to conducting enforcement operations to uphold the
integrity of the nation’s immigration laws. The public is encouraged to report any immigration violations
or suspicious activities by contacting the Department’s hotlines.
