The Mexican navy has detained 15 Cuban men found aboard a small,
home-made boat just off the tip of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.
The navy said Thursday that the Cubans' vessel was first sighted by a
fishing boat.
Navy personnel removed the Cubans from the craft Wednesday and took them
to a naval station near Cancun, where they were turned over to
immigration agents for processing.
Mexico signed a pact with Cuba in 2008 promising to deport illegal Cuban
migrants. Before, Mexican generally only briefly detained Cuban migrants
and issued them a 10- to 30-day exit order, giving them time to make
their way to the United States.
