The Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) announced that its migrant apprehensions increased dramatically in 2021 when compared with the previous year.
RBDF Commodore Raymond King said during a January 2022 news conference that detainments in the Bahamas increased by 456% in the past year, according to The Tribune, a Bahamian newspaper. King said the RBDF is faced with “people smugglers” who are using more sophisticated methods to evade authorities.
This is really a success story with strong USCG involvement. There was also success reported in discouraging illegal fisheries poaching.
