iciHaiti - Florida : Interception of a luxury yacht filled with Haitian migrants
24/04/2024 11:03:14

Florida police and federal agents intercepted a 60-foot luxury yacht, operated by two human traffickers in an area of Key Biscayne, off the coast south of Miami, with aboard bound for the United States, 30 illegal Haitian migrants in an irregular migration situation who will be repatriated to Haiti...

The Coast Guard continues to return migrants who travel by sea and is expected to repatriate the last group to Haiti.

It is not yet clear whether the yacht arrived in South Florida directly from Haiti, or whether the migrants traveled to a place like the Bahamas and paid smugglers to bring them to the United States.

One of the two smugglers was handed over to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
