HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say 46 migrants from Cuba have landed ashore in Hollywood, Florida, and will be allowed to remain in the United States.
Smugglers brought the migrants to Hollywood, a community more than 20 miles north of Miami. They landed ashore early today.
They will be released once they have been interviewed.
Under U.S. "wet-foot,dry-foot" policy, Cubans who reach land are allowed to stay in the United States; those captured at sea are returned to the island.
