CBP Air and Marine intercepts boat and 35 illegal aliens
AMO Intercepts a Vessel with 35 Aliens Attempting to Reach Southwestern Puerto Rico
Release Date: April 3, 2020
AGUADILLA, Puerto Rico —U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations (AMO) agents detected and intercepted Friday a wooden makeshift vessel with 35 undocumented aliens from the Dominican Republic and Haiti attempting to reach the southwestern coast.
“Making the journey across the Mona Passage is extremely treacherous and dangerous,” stated Johnny Morales, Director of CBP’s Air and Marine Operations in the Caribbean. “Traversing to Puerto Rico illegally during this worldwide pandemic adds a danger to the lives of these illegal migrants.”
Near midnight on April 2, the crew of an AMO DHC-8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft observed single-engine “yola” type vessel moving east without navigational lights about 40 miles from the municipality of Cabo Rojo.
The crew of the MPA maintained constant surveillance of the vessel, contacting an AMO Marine Interceptor Vessel crew, which intercepted the vessel 18 nautical miles from the island, finding 35 people onboard.
AMO agents provided protective masks to all the aliens inside the boat. The aliens claimed to be from the Dominican Republic and Haiti; 30 males, 4 females and 1 minor.
Following the Caribbean Border Interagency Group (CBIG) protocols, the 35 aliens boarded the US Coast Guard cutter Joseph Tezanos for biometric processing and repatriation.
