Coast Guard crews repatriated 27 migrants to Cuba on Thursday.
The Cubans were traveling in a boat on Saturday when they were intercepted 29 miles north of Cuba on their way to Florida, Coast Guard officials said.
The migrants were given food, water and medical attention before being returned to Cuba by the Coast Guard Cutter Charles David Jr.
Last month, 27 Cuban migrants crowded onto a wooden boat landed on shore in Virginia Key in Miami. A dozen escaped capture but 15 were detained by U.S. Border and Customs Protection officials for processing and removal.
