At least 500 migrants have landed in the Florida Keys over the last several days in what the local sheriff’s office describes as a “crisis.”
A group of Cuban migrants gather on the side of U.S. in the Middle Keys island of Duck Key, Fla., Monday Jan. 2, 2023. KEY WEST, Fla. — — At least 500 migrants have landed in the Florida Keys over the last several days in what the local sheriff's office described on Monday as a “crisis."
Separately, 160 migrants arrived by boats in other parts of the Florida Keys over the New Year's Day weekend, officials said. On Monday, 30 people in two new groups of migrants were found in the Middle Keys. “Refugee arrivals require a lot of resources from the Sheriff’s Office as we help our federal law enforcement partners ensure the migrants are in good health and safe,” said Ramsay, whose office's jurisdiction encompasses the Florida Keys. “This shows a lack of a working plan by the federal government to deal with a mass migration issue that was foreseeable."
“Like elsewhere in the Florida Keys, the park has recently seen an increase in people arriving by boat from Cuba and landing on the islands of Dry Tortugas National Park," the National Park Service said in a news release.
