A boat that ran aground off Cayman Brac had 19 Cuban migrants onboard.

The men have been intercepted by the Department of Immigration after the boat was found last Friday.

The migrants are being temporarily housed under immigration control, and several government and private sector agencies are helping meet their immediate needs.

It is anticipated that the group will be transferred to Grand Cayman early next week for processing.

No Cuban boaters have been intercepted in Cayman waters since February.
