MIAMI, United States (CMC) – The United States Coast Guard says the crew of its Cutter Winslow Griesser on Friday transferred 15 migrants to the Bahamas, following an interdiction 22 miles east of Miami Beach.

The transfer came after a US Customs Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations law enforcement crew intercepted the vessel carrying 19 migrants on August 18, 22 miles east of Miami Beach.

It said once aboard the Coast Guard cutter, interdicted migrants are processed to determine their identity and are provided food, water, shelter and basic medical attention before disposition.
