    The crews were notified by a Coast Guard Operation Bahamas Turks and Caicos MH-60 Jayhawk aircrew.

    The USCG said 309 Haitians were taken back to Haiti following the interdiction. The group was a mixture of men, women and children.

    "Attempting to migrate by sea in a less than seaworthy vessel is not only illegal but, also extremely dangerous," Groll said. "The sea is unforgiving, and these voyages can cost you your life."

    The Coast Guard said all migrants received food, water, shelter and basic medical attention once aboard the cutters. They were taken back to Haiti on Monday and Tuesday.

    Since Oct. 1, 2022, the USCG said crews have stopped 2,513 Haitian migrants from making it to America. The number of Haitians attempting to make it to U.S. soil has significantly increased over the past three years.
