\u201cOur highest priority is to prevent loss of life at sea. Our Coast Guard crews, alongside Customs and Border Protection and our other mission partners across the Florida Straits, Windward Pass and the Mona Pass collaborated to act expeditiously in saving these 259 lives and repatriating them back to their country of origin,\u201d \u00a0said Commander Ernest Brown, deputy incident commander, Operation Vigilant Sentry.<\/p>\n
