The U.S. Coast Guard reported last week that a makeshift boat was attempting to land near Key West, Florida. Border Patrol responded and found 24 Cuban immigrants.
Border Patrol Chief Jason D. Owens posted a photo on social media showing a small makeshift boat near Florida's southernmost islands. Border Patrol agents responded to a call from the U.S. Coast Guard.
Investigators detained Cuban immigrants near Key West.
The Coast Guard also discovered 37 more Cuban migrants after discovering two groups on an island near the Bahamas. A Coast Guard team aboard the cutter William Flores rescued the migrants and transported them to the Bahamas for processing.
The migrants had been discovered by the crew of an HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Coast Guard officials said crews dropped water and food to hold the migrants back until help arrived.
A few days ago, Flores' crew rescued another 20 migrants and two dogs found on a makeshift boat. Crews found the boat about 56 miles south of Key West.
