A Walt Disney Co. cruise ship has rescued three fugitives off the coast of Cuba who were wanted in New Orleans.
U.S. Marshal Amos Rojas Jr. said in a news release that last Thursday, the Disney Fantasy cruise ship found the fugitives clinging to a capsized boat. He says all three were wanted for violating their supervised release on federal credit card fraud charges in New Orleans.
Twenty-six-year-old Luis Rivera-Garcia, 23-year-old Juliet Estrada-Pérez and 23-year-old Enrique González-Torres were turned over to authorities in Florida.
The fugitives were Cuban nationals who were from the United States. Rojas says authorities believe the three may have been fleeing to Cuba to avoid prosecution.
They have been charged with violation of supervised release. It’s unclear if they have attorneys.

Maybe our law enforcement officers should have let these men get to Cuba. Landing in Cuba and having to deal with Cuba’s authorities would have been what they deserved. Within a few months, they’d have been crying to return to American jail/prison. Just a thought.
Amen!
Hillary Clinton has done far worse. Why isn’t she being sentenced for her many crimes along with Obama the two worse individuals in our country.
