The problem with this “story” is that it spreads across the internet.
The Government must act swiftly to clarify what really occurred.
Time to video / record all interactions with people who are detained by immigration.

Spare a thought for Bermuda. Cat. 4 hurricane hitting them. Hope there is no loss of life.
“Hurricane conditions are expected to begin on Bermuda
very soon.” -
“A Category 4 hurricane has sustained winds between 130 and 156 mph (209 and 251 km/h). This is the first time on record for two Category 4 or higher hurricanes in the Atlantic basin during October. Matthew reached Category 5 status earlier this month in the Caribbean.”
