30 migrants interdicted in Mona Pass
The 'Heriberto Hernandez' repatriated 30 migrants to the Dominican Republic Navy vessel 'Capella (GC-108)' off Samana, on Nov 10,, following an interdiction by the Coast Guard Cutter 'Joseph Doyle' in the Mona Passage. One other of the interdicted people was pending repatriation. A Customs and Border Protection multi-role enforcement aircraft had initially detected a light-blue, 25-foot yola-style vessel with an undetermined amount of people aboard on the early morning of Nov 9. Coast Guard watchstanders at Sector San Juan diverted the 'Joseph Doyle' to interdict the suspect vessel. The grossly overloaded boat was riding low in the water and in danger of capsizing. The 'Joseph Doyle' embarked all 31 people from the makeshift vessel. All of them claimed to be Dominican Republic nationals. Following the interdiction, Coast Guard personnel coordinated with interagency partners and the Dominican Republic Navy to complete the repatriation.
