Do you need a space before and after an ellipsis? Thanks!
Definition of an ellipsis:
marks or a mark (such as … ) indicating an omission (as of words) or a pause
My source for that.

The ellipsis consists of three evenly spaced dots (periods) with spaces between the ellipsis and surrounding letters or other marks.
Explanation:
Let's take the sentence, "The ceremony honored twelve brilliant athletes from the Caribbean who were visiting the U.S." and leave out "from the Caribbean who were":
The ceremony honored twelve brilliant athletes … visiting the U.S.
