The 'Joseph Doyle' repatriated 119 migrants to Dominican Republic on April 26, following two interdictions of unlawful, irregular migration attempts near Puerto Rico. The repatriated migrants were transferred to Dominican Republic Navy authorities at San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic. The second interdiction occurred on April 25, after the aircrew of a Customs and Border Protection multi-role enforcement aircraft sighted a 30-foot makeshift vessel taking part in an unlawful maritime migration voyage, approximately 30 nautical miles northwest of Desecheo Island, Puerto Rico. A responding Customs and Border Protection marine unit interdicted the suspect vessel while the 'Joseph Doyle' arrived on scene and embarked 66 migrants, 63 who claimed to be Dominican Republic nationals and three who claimed to be Haitian nationals. The first interdiction occurred on April 24, when a Customs and Border Protection Marine unit stopped a 30-foot makeshift vessel taking part in an unlawful maritime migration voyage, approximately four nautical miles north of Desecheo Island, Puerto Rico. Coast Guard watchstanders diverted the 'Joseph Doyle', which arrived on scene and embarked 58 migrants, 56 who claimed to be Dominican Republic nationals and two who claimed to be Haitian nationals.

Coast Guard Cutters rescued 12 migrants

The 'Joseph Doyle' rescued 12 migrants from a capsized vessel on Feb 26, following the interdiction of an unlawful irregular maritime migration voyage in Mona Passage waters near Puerto Rico. The ship repatriated 11 of the migrants, who claimed to be Dominican Republic nationals, to a Dominican Republic Navy vessel just off Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, in the afternoon of Feb 28. During an evening patrol, a Coast Guard HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircrew had detected a suspect vessel in Mona Passage waters southwest of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, on Feb 26. Coast Guard watchstanders at Sector San Juan diverted the Coast Guard Cutter Joseph Doyle to intercept the vessel. Once on scene, the 'Joseph Doyle' observed packages being jettisoned from the suspect vessel shortly before capsizing. The crew, with the assistance of the cutter's Over the Horizon small boat, rescued all 12 persons from the water. Following the rescue, the crew members discovered three holes in the suspect vessel’s hull which appeared to have been unplugged to scuttle the vessel.
