About 150 Haitian migrants landed in Florida by boat after a dangerous trek on a single vessel.
About 150 Haitian migrants landed on the shores of the Summerland Key in Florida Monday morning, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
According to Adam Linhardt, Director of Media Relations Monroe Co. Sheriff's Office, the group traveled on a single vessel. They're now being investigated by CBP.
The news comes just one week after 356 Haitian migrants reached the coast of the Ocean Reef community in Key Largo, Florida.
A total 158 people swam to shore from the vessel, which was roughly 200 meters away from land. They were taken into CBP custody when they arrived and will be interviewed and processed for removal proceedings, according to CBP.
