The U.S. Coast Guard was continuing their search Friday for a group of Cuban boaters whose vessel overturned near the Florida Keys, leaving two people dead and 10 others missing. Officials said they searched by air and water throughout the night and would continue to search throughout the day Friday with the assistance of the U.S. Navy, the Florida Fish.
On Tuesday, the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Charles Sexton repatriated 23 Cuban migrants to Cuba.
In the first interdiction, a migrant vessel was located by a Coast Guard Station Islamorada small boat crew and a U.S. Customs and Border Protection marine unit, Wednesday, after the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission personnel reported the migrant vessel being near Key Largo.
In the second interdiction, a Coast Guard Station Marathon small boat crew located a migrant vessel, Friday, after a Coast Guard Air Station Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane crew reported a 15-foot chug was approximately 36 miles southeast of Marathon.
