On Feb. 28, crews from the Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba interdicted a 35-foot vessel 35-miles north of Mona Island, Puerto Rico. The crew aboard the Escanaba safely embarked 20 male, 8 female Haitian migrants and two suspected smugglers. The migrants were later transferred to the cutter Dauntless for repatriation and the two suspected smugglers were transferred to government officials in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
