The United States Border Patrol detained 30 Cuban rafters who arrived in the Florida Keys this Wednesday morning.
As revealed on X (formerly Twitter) Samuel Briggs II, head of the Miami Sector of the US Border Patrol, the Cuban immigrants were detained “after making landfall in the Marquesas Keys, uninhabited islands west of Key West, Florida.”
Although no more information about the operation is offered, the officer thanked the support of the agencies that responded to deal with the case.
Yesterday, January 2, The USCG repatriated 56 Cuban migrants in what was the first operation of this type of 2024.
“This Tuesday, January 2, the first return of irregular migrants to Cuba in 2024 took place, when the US Coast Guard returned 56 people, most of them from Matanzas, who had participated in three illegal departures from the country and were intercepted at sea. "he said in redes sociales el Ministerio del Interior cubano (MININT).
Before the end of 2023, exactly on December 28, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) repatriated nine Cuban migrants who were detained when they tried to disembark in Key West.
Two days before Christmas Eve, the USCG returned another 45 Cuban rafters to the island who were detained off the coast of Islamorada, also in southern Florida.
The Cuban immigration crisis remains unstoppable, despite the fact that the US Coast Guard has returned Cuba to more than 130 immigrants in fiscal year 2024, which began on October 1, 2023.
