KEY WEST -- The crews with the US Coast Guard sent 34 Cuban migrants to Bahia de Cabañas, Cuba, this week.
According to a press release, the Coast Guard’s actions were the result of four separate migrant interdictions at sea within the last week in the south Florida Straits.
In each instance, the Coast Guard said they helped secure the U.S. border and prevented these sea voyages from ending in tragedy.
"Safety of life at sea continues to be the Coast Guard's primary concern," said Capt. Aldante Vinciguerra, chief of response for the 7th Coast Guard District. "Migrants aboard overloaded and unseaworthy vessels are putting their lives at extreme risk of injury and death. The Coast Guard with our partner agencies continue to patrol vigilantly to rescue and repatriate undocumented migrants who take to the sea."
