Three Cubans detained in Florida after surviving on coconuts on empty island

Three people in Ice custody after coast guard rescue following 33 days on uninhabited island of Anguilla Cay

Three people who survived largely on coconuts for more than a month before they were rescued from an uninhabited island in the Bahamas are now in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) custody, officials said on Wednesday.

The US Coast Guard had rescued three Cubans stranded on the desert island for 33 days, after officers saw the group waving a makeshift flag to gain their attention.
