Customs and Border Protection have stopped over 100 Haitian migrants attempting to enter the U.S. via boat in Florida.
It was the latest arrest by authorities of those trying to cross into the U.S. by boat. Earlier this month, 305 people from Haiti and the Bahamas were intercepted by the Coast Guard. That was part of an operation that intercepted nearly 12,000 migrants in FY 2023. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
