Bahamas

The State Department is discouraging tourists from traveling to the Caribbean islands. But government officials from both nations hope that won't keep tourists from coming.

A vessel carrying as many as 60 people people capsized off the coast of the Bahamas. The islands have seen a recent increase in human smuggling incidents, as Haitians flee dire conditions back home.

Three Americans were found dead at the Sandals Emerald Bay resort in the Bahamas over the weekend. Officials are still working to determine the cause of death.

The Coast Guard said the missing appear to have been part of a "suspected human smuggling venture" that took off from Bimini, a small island in the Bahamas roughly 55 miles east of Miami.

Tropical Depression Fred is expected to regain strength slowly before making landfall as a tropical storm in the Florida Keys on Saturday.

Parts of the island nation are still in ruins, thousands remain displaced and rebuilding efforts have only just begun. But locals and volunteers are making a difference.

Hurricane Humberto knocked out the power for some 80% of Bermuda's electricity customers — but government officials say they're relieved no one died when the Category 3 storm passed by.

Customs and Border Protection says some 4,000 Bahamians relocated to the U.S. after Hurricane Dorian — many of them to South Florida. They're wondering if the U.S. will allow them to stay.

The Customs and Border Protection chief said no one fleeing the destruction will be refused entry to the U.S. But he was contradicted by the Homeland Security Department and President Trump.

The Trump administration is keeping a suspicious eye on China while helping the Bahamas recover from Hurricane Dorian.
