Fifty-six Cuban migrants interdicted at sea in four incidents last week
were repatriated Sunday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Three suspected smugglers from those incidents were turned over to U.S.
Customs and Border Enforcement in Key West.

The vessels were stopped south of Big Pine Key and Key West.

Nineteen smuggling suspects have been turned over to customs and border
control agents in nine interdictions since Oct. 11, authorities said.
