My cousin and his daughter were two of the migrants detained in the Bahamian detention center.
They separated them and the 7 year old girl was with the general woman population. Luckily, the people detained aren't criminals and actually took care of the girl.
They kept being promised to be repatriated, but it wouldn't happen because a US group gives the Bahamian government $5K per month per person detained. This is a cash cow since they give them minimal food and the actual detention facility is deplorable. They are raking in about $500K a month for the detainees.
They only got repatriated after 4 months when my cousin was interviewed by a Miami radio station about the abuses. They were repatriated the following day.

Thank you for sharing this story. I am determined to tell everyone I know who is likely to vacation in the Caribbean and the surrounding Islands to boycott the Bahamas.

Would this U.S. group be giving the money to reduce immigrants coming to U.S. shores?
