Border Patrol in Miami encounter 88 Cuban migrants on 5 boats in Florida Keys ahead of New Year

In the last 24 hours, the U.S. Border Patrol Miami Sector and its partners encountered 88 Haitian migrants in five landings across the Florida Keys.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Miami sector had a busy end to the year, reporting 88 migrant encounters throughout the Florida Keys in the last 24 hours on Saturday. 

The Cuban migrants came in five boat landings, Chief Patrol Agent Walter N. Slosar reported.

Last week, Slosar reported the sector encountered 24 Haitian migrants in a smuggling operation and 15 migrants on Christmas morning.
