15 Haitians Are Pulled From Sea

Fifteen Haitians were pulled from the surf just off Riviera Beach, Fla., and another may have died in a probable migrant smuggling venture, U.S. authorities said. The Haitians told authorities they were smuggled to Florida on a boat that took eight days to make the 600-mile journey from their Caribbean homeland. But it was more likely that they were brought to Florida from the nearby Bahamas, less than 100 miles away, the U.S. Border Patrol said.
