Miami, Dec 26 (EFE).- About 15 Cuban rafters arrived in the Florida Keys, a string-like archipelago arching off the southern tip of Florida and made up of some 1,700 islands, amid a rising wave of illegal migrants that has not slacked off despite the Christmas holidays and the colder weather, even in South Florida, due to Winter Storm Elliott.
Local media on Monday reported the arrival of the group of Cubans, who made landfall near Key Colony Beach after crossing the Florida Strait in a rickety boat.
The head of the US Border Patrol in the Miami sector, Walter Slosar, said on Twitter that the migrants arrived on Christmas Day and had set sail from Cuba’s Matanzas region, on the northwest coast of the communist island.
