The United States Coast Guard in San Juan repatriated 16 Dominican migrants on Thursday following a failed attempt to reach Puerto Rico. The group had been intercepted earlier in the week after traveling in an improvised vessel across the Mona Passage on Monday.
The operation concluded with the return of the individuals to the Dominican Republic. Authorities characterized the interception as a successful outcome for their ongoing maritime security operations in the region.
