THE Department of Immigration conducted an operation in Cable Beach from 5.30am to 9.30pm yesterday that resulted in the detention of at least 31 people, all of whom are Haitian nationals, for various infractions of immigration laws.

Officials said such operations are routine and part of their ongoing efforts to enforce immigration regulations. 

“This is something that we do all the time; this is nothing unusual, nothing out of the ordinary. We do this every day, and it is an ongoing process,” said a spokesperson from the Department of Immigration.

Further details regarding the specific infractions and the next steps for those detained were not immediately available.
