    Coast Guard Sends Back 41 Migrants To Dominican Republic After Caught At Sea Off Puerto Rico

.

    PUERTO RICO – The Coast Guard repatriated 15 migrants Friday and 26 others Thursday to the Dominican Republic, following the interdiction of four migrant vessels this week in Mona Passage waters off the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

    The interdictions were a result of ongoing efforts in support of Operation Unified Resolve, Operation Caribbean Guard and the Caribbean Border Interagency Group (CBIG).

    “Crossing the perilous waters of the Mona Passage aboard grossly overloaded makeshift boats with no life-saving equipment onboard is extremely dangerous and a potentially life threatening situation,” said Cmdr. Christopher Douglas, Coast Guard Sector San Juan chief of response.

    “The excellent interagency collaboration between the responding local and federal agencies led to the successful interdiction of all four migrant vessels and the safe recovery of 41 migrants.”
