The US Coast Guard intercepted several immigrant boats originating from Haiti and the Bahamas totaling 305 migrants in two days.
The Coast Guard intercepted hundreds of migrants in overcrowded boats headed toward the United States over the weekend. In total, 305 people fleeing the Bahamas and Haiti were busted for unlawful maritime migration attempts during Operation Vigilant Sentry and rescued from unsafe vessels and returned to their countries.
The Coast Guard urges any potential migrants considering the journey: don’t take to the sea and risk your life just to be sent back. Use the safe, orderly and lawful pathways available like the CHNV process,' Lt. Fujimoto said in a statement.
