Officials took into custody 32 Cuban migrants who arrived in the Florida Keys on Tuesday.
The 27 men and five women landed in the Sunrise Isle subdivision in the Middle Keys city of Marathon around 5 a.m., said Adam Hoffner, division chief of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Miami sector.
U.S. Border Patrol agents medically screened the migrants and will soon begin their removal proceedings, the U.S. Coast Guard Chief Patrol Agent Walter N. Slosar tweeted at about 11:30 a.m.
