Coast Guard returns Cuban 15 migrants stopped off shores of Miami

The U.S. Coast Guard has returned a group of Cuban migrants who were
stopped eight miles away from the shores of Miami.

Fifteen migrants and two smugglers were aboard the Abbey Road. The
migrants were sent back last week to Bahia de Cabañas in Cuba, the Coast
Guard said. The accused smugglers face federal prosecution.

More than two dozen migrants were sent to Bahia de Cabañas on Dec. 22
after the Coast Guard stopped a stolen 35-foot boat about 40 miles
southwest of Cuba. One of the two suspected smugglers in that case was
arrested on federal charges.
