The United States Coast Guard returned to Cuba this Friday 58 rafters who were detained on the coast of Florida during the last week, the Ministry of the Interior (Minint) reported on Twitter.
According to the note, the operation to transfer immigrants to the island authorities was carried out through the port of Orozco, in Bahía Honda, Artemisa.
The Cuban authorities stated that "with this there are 95 returns with 4,183 irregular migrants so far in 2023, by air and sea.

In June alone, the arrival of Cuban immigrants through US border points totaled 10,885 arrivals, of which the majority were by sea.
According to figures revealed by the Department of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), of the more than 10 thousand Cubans who arrived irregularly in the country in June, 6,630 did so through the so-called Miami sector, an increase of 16% compared to to those who They entered the same area in May (5,532).
The figures for one month are chilling, since in themselves they represent more than what was reported in different complete fiscal years.
