Rescue crews transferred the people from the grounded vessel to Coast Guard ships, with some entering the water without life jackets and needed to be rescued by crew members.
Chief Patrol Agent Walter N. Slosar, who heads the agency’s Miami sector, said in a Twitter post that agents are working to keep the migrants "safe, clean, fed and healthy and identify exactly who they are and what they may or may not have wrong with them."
