FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — At least 25 migrants came ashore on Fort Lauderdale beach Tuesday evening, just days after Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he activated the Florida National Guard in response to a recent increase in landings in South Florida.
The migrants landed in the 700 block of Seabreeze Boulevard shortly before 6 p.m., Casey Liening, a Fort Lauderdale Police spokesperson, said in an email.
“We currently have several detained and have located the boat,” Liening said shortly before 7 p.m.
