iciHaiti - Puerto Rico : Rescue of 11 Haitians abandoned on Monito Island 18/09/2024 10:25:24
Once on scene, the Coast Guard crew provided life jackets to the group of 11 migrants, (6 men and 5 women), who claimed to be Haitian nationals. The Coast Guard crew instructed each migrant to grab a life buoy while wearing a life jacket and jump into the water. Once in the water, the Coast Guard boat crew safely recovered each migrant. The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Richard Dixon rescued all Haitian migrants abandoned by smugglers on the uninhabited Monito Island Nature Preserve in Puerto Rico’s Mona Passage. "Preventing dangerous and irregular migration to the United States by sea is both a matter of U.S. border security and a rescue mission for those who take to the sea, not to mention the dangers and perils of the journey," said Lt. Peter Diamontopulos, Commanding Officer of the Coast Guard Cutter Richard Dixon. "The risk of death is not worth it, taking to the sea is never the solution, seek legal pathways." The 11 migrants were safely transferred to U.S. Border Patrol agents at the Ramey Sector in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. S/ iciHaiti
