More than a hundred Haitian migrants arrived in a sailboat off the Florida Keys

Monroe County Sheriff's Office

A group of more than a hundred Haitian migrants arrived in a sailboat off the lower Florida Keys on early morning Wednesday, local and federal officials said.

The boat arrived about 100 yards (91 meters) away from a condominium in Key West at 4:00 a.m., and shortly after that law enforcement officers arrived to the scene, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said. Most of the 118 migrants were male, but the group also included women and children, the Sheriff's Office said.
