The U.S. Coast Guard has repatriated 86 migrants it says were illegally
migrating from Cuba and Haiti.
The Coast Guard said in a statement Saturday that the repatriations are
the result of five separate incidents of people attempting to illegally
migrate to the United States through the Florida Straits. The incidents
occurred over more than a week.
On Aug. 21 the Coast Guard Cutter Williams Flores interdicted 24 Haitian
migrants north of the Grand Bahamas Island. Sixteen of the migrants were
reported to have jumped into the water, but were rescued.
