More than 100 Haitian migrants were apprehended in separate incidents on Saturday, according to police. Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) officers intercepted an American sailing vessel carrying 40 Haitian migrants off Snake Cay, Abaco, around 1 a.m. The RBDF's satellite base in Abaco spotted the boat just south of Marsh Harbour. It was unclear who the captain was.

Another 61 Haitian migrants were arrested around 2 a.m. on Snake Cay, police said. The group included 11 woman, 45 men, three teenaged girls and two children. A man, 52, of The Mudd, Abaco, who was parked in a van on the island, was arrested in connection with the matter.
Inspector Terecita Pinder, public affairs and communications officer, said the migrants will be transported to the Carmichael Road Detention Centre once the Department of Immigration has processed them.
