iciHaiti - Cap-Haitien: 109 Boat-people repatriated by the US Coast Guard
On Friday, April 15, 2022, the US Coast Guard cutter Decisive (WMEC-629) repatriated 109 Haitian migrants (83 men and 26 women, including two minors) to Cap-Haitien, intercepted aboard a 50-meter overloaded sailboat and dangerous about 35 miles east of Punta Maisi, Cuba on April 13th.

"Sailing is always risky," said Coast Guard District 7 Public Affairs Officer Lt. Commander Jason Neiman "There are risks in trying to make the trip to the United States in these overloaded boats in dangerous waters [...]

Maritime migration is always dangerous and often deadly. Smugglers have no respect for the lives of migrants and continue to take advantage of vulnerable people by spreading false information about US laws. The termination of the CDC's Title 42 Public Health Order on May 23 does not impact the Coast Guard's ability to rescue and intercept those attempting these dangerous journeys."

The U.S. Coast Guard reminds "All persons intercepted at sea who attempt to enter the United States without proper documentation are and will continue to be subject to repatriation to their country of origin."
