Boat carrying 240 Haitian migrants interdicted by US and Turks and Caicos authorities
This week, US Customs and Border Protection interdicted a boat carrying 240 Haitian migrants making their way to the United States.
The vessel was carrying mainly military-age males, according to US officials.
Turks and Caicos authorities rescued the migrants and took them into custody before they reached US soil.
Statement from CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott:
This week, Air Interdiction Agents located a vessel carrying 240 migrants from Haiti attempting an illegal maritime migration. The overcrowded vessel was taking on water and in danger of sinking.
Our personnel helped prevent what could have been a catastrophic loss of life while stopping yet another illegal migration attempt.
The message remains clear: illegal maritime migration is dangerous, it is not worth the risk, and you will not gain entry into the US.
