Ritzy Florida enclave becomes Chinese smuggling hot spot as former military identifies driving force
Fox News
Coral Gables, Florida, has become a hot spot for Chinese migrant smuggling, with a military veteran identifying networks taking advantage of its proximity to international waterways.
Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a U.S. Writer at Fox News Digital.
But in recent months, the dazzling city has seen an uptick of Chinese migrant interceptions. Sarah joined FOX in 2021, where she has assisted on coverage of breaking and major news events across the US and around the world, including the fallout following the "Defund the police" movement, the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump's life and illegal immigration.
The city's uptick is representative of the Sunshine State's influx of Chinese nationals since 2020, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. In 2020, Florida Border Protection officers interacted with 406 Chinese migrants and by 2024, that number jumped to 723 – a 78% increase.
