Two men from South Florida are charged with smuggling 35 Cubans from Camaguey to Palm Beach after one of the Cubans, 39-year-old Carlos Alberto Pons-Arias, drowned during the journey:

On Thursday night, federal immigration agents arrested two South Florida men on suspicion of smuggling the migrants over on a 33-foot Hydrasport boat.

Duany Llorente-Jimenez, 24, of Miami and Maikel Soto, 28, of Homestead remained in federal custody Friday night on charges of migrant smuggling.

In all fairness, though, there really isn’t much to do out in Homestead. There’s like a mall and some fields and a rodeo and a nuclear generating plant.

P.S. The accompanying photograph has nothing to do with the story, but came up in an image search for “drowning.” We are currently drowning in joy at the prospect of having this exact image tattooed on our face as soon as possible.
