The Coast Guard sent 45 migrants back to Cuba on Sunday after interdicting them last week.
Authorities spotted the migrants on four different boats off Florida's coast last week amid one of the largest known annual exoduses of Cuban"balseros" since 2016, the Miami Herald reported."The possibility of being stopped by Coast Guard crews while illegally migrating through the Caribbean Sea is high," said Lt. Cmdr. Mark Cobb of the Coast Guard 7th District."No one should risk their lives on unsafe rustic vessels in unpredictable seas.
Once in custody, the Coast Guard provides migrants with medical support, food, and water, according to the Coast Guard 7th District, which announced the interdiction.
