A boat loaded with suspected migrants capsized north of an uninhabited island near Puerto Rico and 11 people had been confirmed dead while 31 others were rescued Thursday, authorities said.
The boat was spotted more than 11 miles north of the uninhabited island of Desecheo, which is off Puerto Rico's west coast. The U.S. Coast Guard said those rescued were 20 men and 11 women.
“These voyages are dangerous,” Castrodad said. “They're unsafe, they are grossly overloaded ... no lifesaving equipment. It wouldn't really take much for any of these vessels to capsize.” In fiscal year 2021, 310 Haitians and 354 Dominicans were detained, compared with the 22 Haitians and 313 Dominicans apprehended in fiscal year 2020.
