The US Coast Guard transfers two Cuban rafters to the Bahamas.

The crew of the US Coast Guard Cutter Manowar rescued two Cuban migrants at Cay Sal Bank and transferred them to the Bahamas this Friday.

The rescue took place after an aerial team from the United States Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations (CBPAMO) spotted the stranded migrants, who were waving a white flag as a distress signal.

Through its official account on the social network X, @USCGSoutheast urged migrants not to risk their lives by embarking on dangerous maritime journeys.

Despite the restrictions imposed by the U.S. government to curb illegal migration, which include denying the right to seek asylum for those who enter irregularly, Cubans continue to try to reach the United States by sea.

This phenomenon reflects the desperation of many to escape from the repression and misery they face in Cuba.

The transfer of migrants to the Bahamas highlights the high seas interception and repatriation policy of the US authorities, who seek to deter the dangerous journeys that often end in tragedy.
