TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras—Police say more than two dozen Cuban immigrants are being held by immigration officials in Honduras.
Members of the group say they spent 15 days at sea in a small boat and weathered five strong storms.

Local police spokesman Angel Velez says the group arrived Friday in the coastal city of Trujillo, 300 miles (480 kilometers) northwest of the capital, and all are in good health.

About 150 Cubans have arrived on Honduran shores this year. Most Cuban migrants who arrive in Honduras are granted 15- or 30-day visas in Honduras and immediately leave for the U.S.
