Immigration officers terrify Bahamian mother and daughter

Read storyA woman and her daughter are trying to get back to normal after a terrifying encounter with the Immigration Department.

Violet Hanna said she thought someone was trying to break in when she heard banging on her door early Tuesday morning.

She realized it was the Immigration Department after she saw more than a dozen armed men and women in green uniforms outside her front and back doors.

Hanna said the officers started counting down, threatening to break her door if she did not open it quickly. Her 7-year-old daughter, Amber, was so scared she started crying and throwing up, she said.

Hanna told The Tribune that officers never identified themselves and did not apologize for breaking her gate to get to her back door.

That is terrifying. :(

Some people (those outside Violet Hanna's home) conduct themselves in such a disgusting manner. It's sad that there is not one among who knows better and will say so.
