Border Patrol agents intercepted over 100 undocumented Haitian immigrants off the coast of Key West, Florida. The U.S. Coast Guard reported that the 118 migrants were found on a boat in Florida waters around 4 a.m., where they were subsequently subjected to medical examinations, interviews, and processing.
The detention occurs as a humanitarian crisis grips Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince, where violent gangs have taken over the streets, forcing residents to starve and flee.
