More than two dozen Cuban migrants were repatriated to Cuba on Sunday,
according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The migrants were intercepted in three separate incidents last week, the
Coast Guard said. Most were repatriated to Cuba, while others were taken
to Guantánamo.
On May 2, the cutter Key Biscayne crew spotted five male Cubans aboard a
vessel about five miles south of Key West, the Coast Guard said.
On Tuesday, an Air Station Miami HU-25 Falcon jet crew spotted a 27-foot
pleasure craft being towed with 26 Cubans and three suspected smugglers
aboard, the Coast Guard said.
The three suspected smugglers were transferred to Customs and Border
Protection.
On Wednesday, a person spotted five male Cubans aboard a craft about 15
miles south of Key West and contacted the Coast Guard. The crew of the
Coast Guard Cutter Key Biscayne responded, the Coast Guard said
