MIAMI — Coast Guard Cutter Diligence's crew repatriated 124 Haitians to Cap-Haitien, Haiti, Tuesday, after being stopped approximately 17 miles northwest of Cap du Mole.
Diligence's crew arrived on scene and provided the people with life jackets due to safety concerns associated with the vessel being grossly overloaded.
"The Coast Guard and our partners will continue to vigilantly patrol, detect, intercept and deter unsafe voyages," said Petty Officer 3rd Class Ryan Estrada, Coast Guard Seventh District.
Since Oct. 1, 2021, Coast Guard crews have interdicted 5,390 Haitian migrants compared to:
- 1,527 Haitian Migrants in Fiscal Year 2021
- 418 Haitian Migrants in Fiscal Year 2020
- 932 Haitian Migrants in Fiscal Year 2019
- 609 Haitian Migrants in Fiscal Year 2018
- 419 Haitian Migrants in Fiscal Year 2017
Once aboard a Coast Guard cutter, all migrants receive food, water, shelter and basic medical attention.
