MIAMI — The U.S. Coast Guard said the bodies of two people have been recovered from the ocean water off the Florida Keys on Friday afternoon.
The agency said in a statement on Twitter that eight people have been rescued, and the search continues for “an unconfirmed number of people in the water.”
Coast Guard officials said it was too soon to confirm that the rescue is related to a surge in Cuban migrant landings in the Keys that significantly ramped up this week.
