On Tuesday, municipal police on the mainland part of the Isla Mujeres assisted three undocumented Cubans who had arrived in a small boat near the Palladium Hotel beach. It was around 8:45am, after the police had received notification of the three men walking along the beach thru the emergency number. They believed the men had characteristics of Cuban refugees and transported them to their facilites, where they were given medical care and food. All three had signs of dehydration. They are all from Cuba and described as: Raidel G, 26, whose occupation is Computer teacher; Osmel C, 28, who is single and a fisherman; and Rosniel R, 26, who is an assistant fisherman and married. After they received medical attention, they were turned over to the Immigration agents. Their green boat was secured by the Harbor Master.

The Mayor and police officials toured the "Caseta" buidlings of the municipal police which are located in the colonias La Gloria and Salina Grande and at the mercado "Audomaro Magana". The Director of Public Works accompanied them and explained the improvements that have been made to the buildings, which had been closed for many years. They will be used as bases for the officers to perform their work and thereby strengthen security for the islanders.
Municipal police were present at the primary schools Julio Saurio Espinoza and Cesar Mendoz Santana this week to prevent traffic accidents and ensure everyone's safety. School are returning to 100% in-person operations on Monday.
