A Carnival cruise ship is poised to turn over to the Coast Guard 28 Cuban migrants it picked up on the high seas, after having stopped in Galveston, Texas, over the weekend, Coast Guard officials said today. And just this morning, another half dozen Cuban migrants made it to dry land at Sand Key, according to the Coast Guard. Cuban exile activist Ramón Saúl Sánchez said the cruise staff was told by the U.S. government that instead of turning over the Cubans to immigration authorities at the Galveston port, they must transfer them to a Coast Guard cutter at sea because they do not qualify as "dry foot."
