The Coast Guard returned 47 migrants to the Dominican Republic between Thursday and Sunday, following three separate interdictions of irregular, unlawful maritime migration voyages in Mona Passage waters near Puerto Rico.
Ten of the interdicted migrants remain in U.S. custody to face federal prosecution by the U.S. District Court of Puerto Rico on a range of separate charges including attempted reentry into the United States under 8 U.S.C. 1326, unlawful entry into the United States under 8 U.S.C. 1325, and failure to heave under 18 U.S.C. 2237.
