A U.S. Coast Guard Air Station
Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane crew alerted U.S. Coast
Guard Cutter James of a migrant vessel about 30 miles south
of Man Key, Florida on the southern tip of Keys. The cutter
responded, interdicting the Cubans at an undisclosed location
in the Gulf of Mexico and repatriated them back to Cuba a
few days later.
