CANCUN, Mexico — An attempt to reach Florida turned into 17 days at sea for Cuban migrants crammed aboard a rickety sailboat that drifted ashore in Mexico near the Belize border.
The migrants — 12 men and two women — were severely dehydrated when they landed Saturday and two had to be hospitalized, deputy police chief Didier Vasquez Mendez said.
The Cubans were detained by Mexico authorities, but most Cubans who arrive in Mexico are released after being held 90 days at an immigration center.
