FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A group of Cuban migrants landed at the Dry Tortugas National Park Thursday, on the same morning Gov. Ron DeSantis blamed the federal government for the border crisis and announced legislation cracking down on illegal immigration.
The 22 migrants ― 19 men and three women ― arrived on a rustic vessel, according to a tweet from Customs and Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agent Walter N. Slosar.
Dry Tortugas National Park, located about 70 miles west of Key West, closed down on Jan. 2 in order to attend to approximately 300 migrants who had landed in the park over a few days. The park reopened on Jan. 8.
