MIAMI -- A Cuban woman arrived in America
packed inside a wooden crate box aboard
a cargo flight that landed at Miami International
Airport around 10 Tuesday night, federal
immigration authoities said.
Employees for DHL, an international shipping
company that has a terminal at the airport,
found the woman stuffed inside a large wooden
crate.
Officials say the cargo flight originated
in Cuba and stopped in Nassau, Bahamas,
before landing in Miami.
They have not yet figured out where the
woman entered the box.
Also, federal immigration officials are
trying to determine if she is a migrant
who should be allowed entrance to the country
or if she is technically a stowaway, which
could mean she can be sent back to her homeland.
The woman, who is in her 20s, was not immediately
identified. She was reported in good condition.
She is in immigration custody now.
