海岸警卫队将6人遣返古巴：Florida海峡两起拦截与救助 一人因医疗原因送岸
Key West——美国海岸警卫队（USCG）宣布，「Isaac Mayo号」巡逻舰船员已将6人遣返古巴。此前，海岸警卫队在 Florida 海峡先后进行了一次海上拦截与一次失事船只救助，两起行动地点分别在 Cay Sal 西南水域与 Key West 东南约46英里处。
第一起行动中，海岸警卫队 Key West 分区值班人员接到海关与边境保护局（CBP）空中与海上行动处机组的通报，称 Cay Sal 西南发现一艘简陋船只；Miami 航空站的 HC-144 海洋哨兵巡逻机定位该船后，「Raymond Evans号」船员接上3名古巴男子，其中一人随后被送岸接受更高等级的医疗处置。第二起行动发生在周日，Miami 航空站机组在 Key West 东南约46英里处发现一艘失去动力的古巴渔船，船上有4人，「Isaac Mayo号」船员前往救起4人。两起行动共接上7人，除送岸就医者外，其余6人被遣返。
Miami 航空站指挥官、船长 Aaron Ortenzio 表示：「我们的船员在守护海上边界的同时，也在保障海上生命安全。这些案例显示海岸警卫队既阻止非法海上入境，也救助遇险船员。」海岸警卫队称，被拦截者在巡逻舰上会得到食物、饮水、住所与基本医疗，并完成身份核查等程序后作后续处置。

Coast Guard Repatriates Six People to Cuba After Florida Straits Interdiction and Rescue
KEY WEST, Fla. — The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Isaac Mayo repatriated six people to Cuba following a maritime migrant interdiction and a disabled-boat rescue in the Florida Straits, the Coast Guard announced.
In the first case, Coast Guard Sector Key West watchstanders were notified by a CBP Air and Marine Operations aircrew of a rustic vessel southwest of Cay Sal. An Air Station Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircrew located the vessel, and the Cutter Raymond Evans embarked three Cuban men; one person was later medically evacuated to shore for a higher level of care. In the second case, on Sunday, an Air Station Miami aircrew located a disabled Cuban fishing vessel with four people aboard about 46 miles southeast of Key West, and the Isaac Mayo's crew rescued all four. Of the seven people taken aboard across the two cases, six were repatriated.
"Our crews remain vigilant in protecting our maritime borders while safeguarding lives at sea," said Capt. Aaron Ortenzio, commanding officer of Air Station Miami. "These cases demonstrate the Coast Guard's commitment to preventing unlawful maritime entry while responding to mariners in distress." Once aboard a cutter, interdicted people are processed to determine identity and are provided food, water, shelter and basic medical attention before disposition, the Coast Guard said.
