FILE - Buses carrying Cuban migrants leave from U.S. Coast Guard Sector Key West, Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023, in Key West, Fla. The Coast Guard has returned another 177 Cuban migrants who were caught at sea to the island. A Coast Guard news release said the migrants were all intercepted off Florida's coast in separate incidents earlier this month. They were repatriated by two Coast Guard cutters on Thursday, Jan. 12.
Good Samaritans among island beachgoers helped some of the migrants ashore with small boats and jet skis, Selva said. The spike among Cubans has been especially pronounced. Since Oct. 1, 2022, the Coast Guard has interdicted more than 4,900 Cuban migrants at sea, as compared with more than 6,100 Cubans intercepted during all of fiscal 2022, which ended Sept. 30, according to the news release.
