After stopping five vessels off the Florida Keys in one afternoon, 67 migrants were returned to Cuba on Monday, U.S. Coast Guard said.
All detentions were made Saturday afternoon, the Coast Guard said Tuesday in a news release.
A Customs and Border Protection airplane crew alerted a Key West Coast Guard crew at 1:30 p.m. of a “rustic vessel” 28 miles south of Marathon, the military agency said.
Less than an hour later, Coast Guard crews located two more rustic vessels at 2:15 p.m — one was 22 miles south of Key West and the other one 37 miles southwest.
At 4:45 p.m., Coast Guard crews spotted a boat 17 miles south of Ramrod Key. One hour later, another crew detected a boat 24 miles south of Marquesas Key.
Authorities did not release additional information.
Coast Guard Cutter Charles Sexton’s crew alerted Coast Guard Sector Key West watchstanders of a vessel about 24 miles south of Marquesas Key, Florida, April 16, 2022. The people were repatriated on Monday, April 18, 2022.

“These voyages are dangerous on makeshift, rustic vessels without food, water, or safety equipment,” said Coast Guard District Seven Lt. Travis Poulos. “We urge family members in the United States to dissuade their loved ones from making this dangerous journey.”

They should ALL be sent back over the FIRST border they illegally crossed from whether they come here by sea, by air, or by foot!
Stop picking and choosing who gets sent back. This is not right.
None of them should be coming here undocumented, unvetted, without medial screening, and prior approval.ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM
