More than 350 Haitian migrants were pulled to safety and taken into custody over the weekend after their crowded boat began to capsize off the coast of the Florida Keys.
Federal, state, and local law enforcement responded to a sinking boat roughly 25 miles south of Miami on Sunday, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman in South Florida told the Washington Examiner Monday afternoon. A total of 356 people were taken into custody. All were from Haiti and most were men, the official said.
