Bahamas Issues U.S. Travel Advisory

The Bahamas Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration has issued a U.S. travel advisory for its citizens because of “recent tensions in some American cities over shootings of young black males by police officers.”

“We wish to advise all Bahamians traveling to the U.S. but especially to the affected cities to exercise appropriate caution generally. In particular, young males are asked to exercise extreme caution in affected cities in their interactions with the police. Do not be confrontational and cooperate,” the ministry said. “Do not get involved in political or other demonstrations under any circumstances and avoid crowds.”

The Bahamas has consular offices in New York, Washington, Miami and Atlanta and honorary consuls in Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago and Houston.
