These last returned Cubans – 32 men and 5 women, the majority residing on Isla de la Juventud – had participated in three illegal departures and were intercepted at sea by the US Coast Guard.

One of those people is under investigation for being considered “as an alleged perpetrator of serious criminal acts” before getting involved in the illegal exit, the note said.

With this operation, the 27th carried out by the Cuban port of Orozco, in the province of Artemisa, the US Government has deported a total of 1,981 rafters in 2023.

In recent weeks, other groups of irregular migrants have been returned to Cuba by the governments of Mexico, the Bahamas and the United States.

The Government of Cuba insists that it maintains its commitment “to regular, safe and orderly migration” and insists on “the danger and life-threatening conditions that illegal departures from the country by sea represent.”

In the case of the United States, since last October 1, the crews of the United States Coast Guard have intercepted more than 5,740 Cubans, a high number compared to previous years.

At the beginning of 2023, the US Government implemented a program to welcome 30,000 migrants per month from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua.

In parallel, it will immediately expel migrants from those countries who try to cross the southern border into its territory irregularly to Mexico.

Mexico, for its part, agreed to admit 30,000 undocumented immigrants a month who are expelled from US territory.
