More Than 300 Haitian Migrants Land in the Florida Keys
More than 300 Haitian migrants landed in a vessel near Key Largo off of Ocean reef on Saturday at approximately 4:30 p.m. according to Border Patrol Miami sector.
United States Border Patrol Miami sector currently has 113 Haitian migrants who decided to jump off the boat in custody, Chief Patrol Agent Walter N. Slosar said. 200 of the remaining migrants who stayed on the vessel are in the custody of the United States Coast Guard.
“We are working to keep them safe, clean, fed, and healthy,” Slosar said in a tweet.
Slosar said they are working to find out exactly who the migrants are and what they might have brought with them into the United States.
This is an ongoing investigation as the United States Border Patrol Miami sector work on identifying the smugglers who crammed the migrants onto the vessel.
