The United States Coast Guard (USCG) on Friday returned four Cuban rafters who had been detained on a boat while trying to enter the country illegally.
The agents "repatriated 4 migrants to Cuba on Friday after the interdiction of a ship of migrants who was trying to illegally enter the United States by sea from Cuba," explained a note posted by the entity on Twitter.
The statement asks immigrants not to undergo a crossing by sea and ensures that anyone who is detained will be repatriated to their country of origin.
This week, 54 rafters who were intercepted off the coast of Florida were also returned to the island.
On July 9, the Cuban regime recognized that so far this year more than 4,000 migrants from the Caribbean nation have been deported from different countries in the area.
These deportation operations, which are added to the emergency measures applied by the Joe Biden administration to control the uncontrolled flow of Cuban immigrants along the southern border of the United States and the coasts of Florida, show that the Cuban migration crisis is far away. to be resolved.
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 to the country in June, 6,630 did so through the so-called Miami sector, an increase of 16% compared to those who entered through 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.
