Migrants,Cuba,Repatriated

Nineteen migrants were successfully repatriated to Cuba on Monday after the U.S. Coast Guard stopped multiple illegal migration attempts.

"Our highest priority is to prevent the unnecessary loss of life at sea that all too often results from irregular, unlawful maritime migration attempts aboard overloaded and unseaworthy vessels,” said Lt. Cmdr. John W. Beal, Coast Guard District Seven public affairs officer, and HSTF-SE public information officer.

The second case involved a bystander alerting Coast Guard Sector Key West of a migrant vessel near Boot Key. The USCG stated that the Coast Guard Station Marathon responded by transferring one Cuban national to the Coast Guard Cutter Oak.
