Crew of the Coast Guard Cutter ISAAC MAYO interdicted migrants aboard this risky craft some 70 miles south of Key West, Fla. A week later, the migrants were repatriated to Cuba. The Coast Guard is tasked with enforcing immigration law at sea. Its migrant interdiction operations are often as much humanitarian efforts as they are law enforcement missions. In fact, many migrant interdiction cases actually begin as search and rescue missions and usually on the high seas rather than in U.S. coastal waters.
