MIAMI — After a roughly monthlong lag in arrivals to the Florida Keys, the third migrant boat in a week carrying people from Cuba came to shore in the island chain, according to the U.S. Border Patrol.
The latest group — six adults and one child — arrived around 11 p.m. Wednesday night, said Adam Hoffner, division chief for U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Miami sector. They came to shore in a homemade boat in the small Upper Keys city of Layton, Hoffner said.
The day before, 32 people from Cuba came ashore the Middle Keys city of Marathon around 5 a.m.
