THE US Coast Guard handed over 14 migrants to Bahamian authorities following the interdiction of an illegal maritime migration attempt.
It is not clear whether the migrants left for the US from The Bahamas.
The operation was conducted by Customs and Border Protection’s Air and Marine Operations and US Coast Guard crews east of Key Biscayne.
Superintendent of Immigration Bernard Pratt reported that the group comprised two females and 12 males, including four Chinese nationals, eight Dominicans, one Ecuadorian, and one Colombian.
The migrants were initially taken into custody at the Department of Immigration headquarters in Grand Bahama. They will later be sent to New Providence, where they will be held at the Detention Centre pending repatriation.

From NBC news:
"On March 14, the U.S. Coast Guard returned 65 Haitians found on a sailboat at sea. "Those interdicted at sea are subject to immediate repatriation pursuant to our longstanding policy and procedures," a spokeswoman for DHS said. "The United States returns or repatriates migrants interdicted at sea to The Bahamas, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti."
The article also said: ~Repatriations by air have discontinued largely because the airports are now controlled by gangs, all those intercepted by sea are sent to THE BAHAMAS, Cuba Dominican Republic by boat
Mass deportation of illegal migrants from the US is not good news for the Bahamas, please wake up out of the Trump wet dream.

No, it's good, the only reason they're coming is because they know with Biden and the Democrats in, it's still open borders if they can make the trip. Once Trump comes in and they see there is no chance for them to enter the country illegally, the number of illegal migration attempts will drop drastically, just like it did when Trump was in office before. That is good for everyone.
