(CNS): Six Cuban migrants entered Cayman waters in the early hours of Sunday morning, the Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control said in a release. At about 12:30am on 14 January, one woman and five men arrived in a small, rickety wooden boat, landing in the Spot Bay area of Cayman Brac, where they ended their journey. The group is now being processed by CBC and their partner agencies in accordance with the established protocols.

This is the first group of migrants to arrive here in 2024. They now join several dozen other Cuban migrants who are awaiting deportation or asylum claims.

    Damn Cubans stay home in Cuba and work to make your island better and not leave and go somewhere else and want to make there like where you left from. STAY HOME.

    Were they unloaded from a larger vessel and used this one to come ashore in Cayman?

    If not, Ernest Hemingway would be very impressed especially with the recent storms.
