PASTOR ON THE PLANE
PASTOR ON THE PLANE
ICE GOT HIM AFTER A BROKEN TAILLIGHT AND HIS GREEN CARD PAPERWORK JUST GOT APPROVED
Good afternoon Bahama Drama.
This one sting.
A Haitian pastor with a U.S. citizen wife, a two-year-old son, and a nine-year-old stepdaughter is sitting in ICE custody in Louisiana tonight, waiting on a charter flight back to Haiti, the same Haiti where gangs just hit a rural town and even government officials getting snatched.
His name is Pastor Molis Augustave.
He was delivering food for DoorDash in York, Pennsylvania. Police pull him for a broken taillight. Days later, ICE have him. And then, listen to this, his wife Omara Boniface Nunez get an email from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services saying the Form I-130 she filed for him as her husband was approved.
Approved.
But ICE still saying he got a final order of removal and he going on that Thursday flight out of Alexandria, Louisiana.
That is the drama.
HOW A PASTOR END UP IN A VAN
Augustave come to the States in 2016. Apply for asylum. Denied in 2018. Appeal lost in 2021. Final deportation order.
Then TPS cover him. Temporary Protected Status. That paper keep a whole heap of Haitians from getting sent back while Haiti stay in chaos.
He work. He organize with We Are CASA. He join other clergy this year on a legal brief when the Supreme Court was looking at whether the administration could kill TPS for more than 300,000 people.
July come. Court side with the administration. TPS gone. He fall back on that old removal order.
So the man take a DoorDash job to keep food on the table. Valid driver’s license. Wife already filed the family petition. Green card application, I-485, sitting there too.
Broken taillight.
Wife say she try to see him after he call from an ICE office. They hand his things through the door. That was it.
ICE spokesman say he was violating U.S. immigration laws and being unlawfully present. Final order. Stay in custody pending removal. And they advertise the CBP Home app, up to $3,000 and a free flight if you self-deport.
Nunez say she heartbroken. Haiti not stable. Kidnappings. Gangs. Tuesday attack on Saint-Michel-de-l’Attalaye got people panicking.
I have seen Molis help other people, including people with family members in detention. But I did not imagine it would happen to me.
They meet at work. Married March 2023. Son Isaac is 2. He stepfather to Sofia, 9.
Sofia understand what happening and still hoping Daddy coming home. Isaac just want his father.
THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE ONE MAN
This not just one pastor.
At least three Haitian pastors catch high-profile ICE hits after arrests.
Since July, 410 people deported to Haiti, including seven children, some born in the U.S. At least 113 used to have TPS. Some gone mere days after they get detained.
ICE used to send monthly flights. Now weekly.
Approval of an I-130 don’t give you a green card by itself. Everybody know that. But together with the I-485, that used to be the path that keep most people from getting rushed on a plane. Advocates say the clock now get sped up on purpose.
Wednesday, We Are CASA and Haitian Bridge Alliance hold a press conference.
Ama Frimpong, We Are CASA, say they are asking for one thing: time. Time for Pastor Molis’s green card application to be adjudicated. Time for due process to play out in a standard time frame, not an expedited, punitive one designed to rush him onto a plane before anyone can review his case.
She call him what happen when you strip hundreds of thousands of TPS and then detain and deport them no matter how long they been here, what they built, or that this is home.
INSIDE THE CENTER
Nunez talk to him every day.
He say food run out sometimes. People in there for endless months. Women and children held nearby.
And still, this the part that sound like a pastor for true, every call he asking if they can help somebody else. He start Bible study with the other detainees.
Even now, he is still asking me to help those who are outside and looking for assistance.
Nunez is first-generation American. She say this give her a new eyes: plenty families going through the same thing.
BAHAMA DRAMA TAKE
A man lose humanitarian protection. File the family papers. Get the I-130 approved after they lock him up on a traffic stop. Wife and two children on this side. Haiti on fire on that side. Flight leaving Thursday.
You could argue the law is the law. Final order is a final order. TPS was temporary. I-130 ain’t a green card.
You could also argue a broken taillight and a pending family case shouldn’t put a preacher on a weekly deportation plane while his toddler asking for Daddy.
Both things sitting in the same story.
What you think, due process, or the plane already booked?
Stay safe. Look out for your people. And if you praying, pray for Isaac and Sofia tonight.
Haiti used to own the whole land of The Dominican Republic.
Haiti used to own the whole land of The Dominican Republic. These are historic facts Bahama Drama has uncovered…👌
No bullshit!
But now the DR allegedly according to political figures in the DR, they now want over 60 percent of Haiti if their political party wins the DR election. While I love the people of DR, this is very wrong!
I hope that the current president wins again to keep the peace ✌️🕊️
The question is should Haiti peacefully give up the land that they set on?
Mannnn!
The Wonderful Life and High IQ of the Exuma Garden Snail
The Wonderful Life and High IQ of the Exuma Garden Snail
Step outside after a fresh tropical downpour in Exuma, and you aren’t just witnessing a rain shower. You are witnessing a masterclass in urban transit optimization. While humans zip past in sedans and trucks, our quiet, shelled neighbors are executing a brilliant logistical strategy. The common garden snail has quietly adapted our infrastructure, turning wet asphalt and slick concrete sidewalks into a high speed mass transit network.
The Slime Rail Revolution: Biological Engineering at Its Finest
Why do these creatures abandon the thick, jagged bush for smooth roadways? Simple: high level efficiency.
Navigating through dense brush, sharp twigs, and rough grass requires an immense expenditure of cellular energy, forcing a snail to constantly fight friction. But a rain slicked road is an engineering marvel. By laying down a continuous layer of lubricating mucus over a flat, paved surface, snails minimize friction entirely. They have essentially unlocked their own high speed rail system, a biological Maglev train gliding effortlessly across human made technology.
It is their version of a multi lane highway system, bypassing the jungle of the undergrowth for a straight, unobstructed shot toward their destination. To these tiny navigators, the road is a technological shortcut.
Microscopic Super Teeth and High Tech Endurance
Beneath that slow, deliberate exterior lies a surprisingly formidable biological machine with stats that will blow your mind.
The Radula Super Teeth: A snail doesn’t just have a few teeth. It packs thousands of microscopic teeth, ranging from 2,000 up to an astounding 15,000, arranged in rows on a ribbon like tongue called a radula. They use this biological conveyor belt to grind down food as they cruise along.
Extraordinary Lifespan: If they manage to successfully navigate human hazards, common garden snails live between 2 to 5 years in the wild, while some protected or larger species can live anywhere from 10 to 25 years.
Why We Must Protect Our Slow Moving Commuters
Because these brilliant little commuters have cracked the code on mobility, they flood our pathways searching for food and new territory right after a heavy downpour. But this high speed convenience comes with a high stakes hazard: the daily rush hour of human traffic.
To a snail, the road is a brilliant technological freeway. To a driver or walker, it’s just the ground. Every time we move without looking down, we risk crushing these ingenious little engineers mid transit.
So, the next time you see a slippery sidewalk or a wet road glistening in the Exuma sunshine, take a page out of the mindful traveler’s book. Watch your step, spare the local transit system, and give our slow moving intellectuals room to roll. After all, they’re just trying to get to work, too.
I love snails 🐌

THE ROYAL BAHAMAS POLICE FORCE
THE ROYAL BAHAMAS POLICE FORCE
Researcher
Michael Elijah Muhammad Clare
Let’s speak plainly.
There are serious corruption concerns within law enforcement in The Bahamas, and pretending otherwise does nothing to protect the public. Corruption is not limited to one officer, one station, or one department. When allegations involve senior ranks, political connections, money, favors, or influence, the entire institution suffers, and public trust is damaged.
But let me be clear: this does not mean every police officer is corrupt. Many officers serve honestly, work under difficult conditions, and put their lives on the line to protect the public. They deserve respect and support.
The problem is what happens when power, money, connections, and personal favors are allowed to influence policing.
Allegations of suspects being framed, influential individuals receiving protection, or police decisions being manipulated for money or favors cannot simply be dismissed as business as usual. If these things are happening, they must be independently investigated and, where proven, dealt with at the highest levels.
And this is where the real problem begins.
There must be strong, independent checks and balances capable of investigating corruption within both the police force and government, including allegations involving senior officials.
No institution should be above meaningful oversight.
I have personally encountered police officers throughout my life whom I believed were involved in questionable or corrupt conduct. I have also heard and witnessed enough to understand why many citizens have lost faith in the system.
And here is the uncomfortable question:
How many others may be getting away with similar conduct simply because they have not been caught?
The privileges and power that can come with holding a high-ranking position within the Royal Bahamas Police Force carry enormous responsibility. When that authority is abused, the consequences reach far beyond one officer. It damages the reputation of the entire force and undermines the public’s confidence in the justice system.
The Bahamas cannot afford to normalize corruption.
Haiti’s crisis did not develop overnight. Political instability, corruption, weakened institutions, criminal networks, and the erosion of public trust all contributed to the country’s deterioration. The Bahamas should pay close attention to that lesson rather than waiting until our own institutions become too damaged to repair.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force needs accountability from the top down.
I’m not going to even mention the allegations made by many citizens throughout The Bahamas, particularly on social media and in other public forums, that the judiciary and judicial system have been in serious trouble since the early 1990s, when some believe money and power began to exert greater influence over society.
Not because every officer is corrupt.
Because no police officer, regardless of rank, should be above the law.
If corruption exists at the top, it must be confronted at the top.
If corruption exists at the bottom, it must be confronted at the bottom.
And if new recruits enter the force and inherit a culture where corruption is tolerated, the problem will reproduce itself for another generation.
That is how institutions become corrupted from within.
The Bahamas deserves better.
We need transparency.
We need independent oversight.
We need accountability.
And we need the same standard of justice applied to the powerful as it is applied to everyone else.
Accountability cannot be selective.
The law must apply to everyone.
