Police spread out in "illegal resident"
cleanup
HAVANA, Cuba, November 1 (Juan Carlos
Linares / www.cubanet.org) - National Police
have been carrying out a dragnet for illegal
residents of Havana and returning those
caught to their home provinces.
Illegal residents are people from any province
who don't have official permits to live
in Havana.
Police have been requesting identification
from passersby around the city. Those whose
papers are found not to be in order have
been taken to the nearest police station
for further investigation. Eventually those
found to be in Havana illegally are given
one-way bus or train rides back to their
original provinces.
Police have not divulged the number of
illegals that have been sent back. These
types of operations are carried out discretely,
said an Interior Ministry agent.
