24 Cuban migrants returned to the island

  The U.S. Coast Guard repatriated 24 Cuban migrants to Bahia de Cabañas, Cuba, on Friday.

  A cutter intercepted the migrants and two suspected smugglers Tuesday afternoon in a 27-foot boat 17 miles north of Bahia de Cabañas.

  The migrants were later interviewed by Immigration and Naturalization agents aboard another. The two suspects were turned over to U.S. Border Patrol.
