U.S. authorities intercepted a boat with 22 migrants near the Florida Keys, including 13 Chinese nationals, and detained an alleged smuggler. The operation occurred September 15 near Angelfish Creek off Key Largo after a Customs and Border Protection aircraft spotted the 27-foot vessel. Coast Guard officers boarded without incident, transferring migrants to the cutter Pablo Valent for processing. CBP officials emphasized the dangers of illegal maritime entry and credited coordination between air, marine units, and the Coast Guard for preventing the migrants from reaching U.S. soil.
