More Than 1,000 Illegals Caught in Waters Around Southeast US in 14 Days
More than 1,000 illegal migrants were caught during the first half of December by authorities responsible for patrolling waters and coastline around the southeastern U.S. and island territories.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced 1,086 apprehensions by Air and Marine Operations (AMO) Southeast Region crews between December 1 and 14.
On December 1, CBP AMO agents helped remove 63 illegal migrants — including two pregnant women — from a “dangerously overloaded” vessel near Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.
While processing the passengers, agents discovered five of the men had already been deported from the U.S. after being convicted of felony crimes, including manslaughter, assault, and narcotics trafficking.
