Over 100 illegal immigrants from Cuba were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents, after several vessels made landfall in South Florida during the Labor Day weekend.

On Saturday, 45 Cuban illegal immigrants were taken into custody after they arrived on a fishing vessel in Marquesas Keys, according to a Sept. 3 Twitter post by Walter Slosar, chief patrol agent of the Miami sector. The illegal immigrants were stranded on an uninhabited island when they were taken in by the officers.
