The U.S. Coast Guard said that it has repatriated 27 Cuban migrants found at sea to their communist-ruled homeland after it intercepted two groups off Florida’s coast.

The announcement on July 28 comes amid unrest in Cuba sparked by mass protests across the nation that started on July 11 when thousands of citizens took to the streets to call for an end to the communist regime, crying out for freedom.
