CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti (WSVN) — A U.S. Coast Guard crew stopped dozens of Haitian migrants at sea.
The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Vigilant spotted the migrants’ 40-foot freighter about 26 miles north of Cap-Haitien, at around 1:30 a.m., Sunday.
Officials said approximately 70 migrants had embarked on the illegal voyage.
The Haitian Coast Guard was contacted shortly thereafter. They arrived a few hours later to return the migrants home.
