Migrants from Trinidad and Tobago have been interdicted while attempting to enter Florida via boat last week, the Miami Sector Border Patrol has said.
In a tweet Friday it revealed that boat landings of migrants along the Florida coast continue at a rapid rate and that late last week, Miami Sector Border Patrol agents teamed up with other law enforcement partners to interdict multiple boat landings leading to the arrests of 13 migrants from multiple nations.
Miami Sector Chief Patrol Agent Walter N Slosar tweeted a report on Friday revealing the arrest of the migrants from Romania, Haiti, Trinidad, and Tobago.
The number of T&T nationals intercepted was not made clear. Ages and gender were also not revealed.
One day earlier, Slosar reported the arrest of 80 Cuban migrants from four boat landings in the Florida Keys.
Additional landings took place in the Florida Keys on Tuesday when Miami Sector agents teamed up with a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office crew regarding the landings of 33 more Cuban nationals (26 adult males and seven adult females).
