The Coast Guard is seeing more Haitian migrants trying to reach the Florida coast by boat.
Fox News embedded on one of the Coast Guard's routine law enforcement flights Monday for a first-hand look at how busy the agency has been with rescues.
If the passengers are in distress, the flight crew can deploy a raft and life jackets before their boats get to them. They can also drop food and water. The Coast Guard picked up 63 Haitians Monday morning. Friday, they stopped 102 people. Wednesday, they picked up 64. Friday, the Coast Guard stopped a boat with 102 Haitians onboard.
"We are definitely seeing more people than we saw when the pandemic was in full force," said U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson Nicole Groll. "People go on these without any life jackets, radar, sometimes there's not even a motor onboard," Groll said. A group of Haitians attempt to make it to Florida on a makeshift boat.
