The U.S Coast Guard stopped eight Cuban migrants in a boat off the Upper Keys this week.
They were sent back to Cuba.
A good Samaritan on Monday alerted Coast Guard Sector Key West to the people in the “rustic vessel,” the Coast Guard reported.
A Station Islamorada rescue crew was launched “due to concerns of safety of life at sea.” A Customs and Border Protection crew also arrived on the scene.
Seven men and one woman were found in the boat south of Islamorada and transferred to the crew on the Coast Guard Cutter William Trump, which brought them back to Cuba on Thursday, the Coast Guard said.

When Black Americans fled the oppression of Jim Crow as part of the Great Migration, some came to the Central Valley to establish settlements like Fairmead and Allensworth. Among the largest of those communities was Cookseyville. It was founded by Sid and Olevia Cooksey, who purchased several acres of farmland in Atwater and invited family members to help them establish their own, self-sufficient community. Valley Edition Host Kathleen Schock spoke with Sid and Olevia’s granddaughter Jeanne Logan, about her memories of growing up in Cookseyville.

Images of Lake Michigan ice have been going viral on social media for days this winter, but one recent image is making waves not just for the ice floating in the water.
Vaida Guthmann shared a photo of herself immersed in the dangerously cold water, surrounded by an ice lily pad formation, on Facebook.
The image shocked people almost as quickly as the cold water would, garnering hundreds of shares and just as many comments in one day.
But Guthmann later noted that she had been training for the moment and practices cold water immersion daily.
The Glencoe mother of three, who is originally from Lithuania, said she has been practicing cold water immersion, almost daily, since January 2020, mostly in Lake Michigan.
