Florida Authorities Intercept Haitian Boat Carrying Drugs, Weapons

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis used to be the man many Americans were pretty sure might be our next president.

While he has taken a bit of a step back when it comes to national popularity, that doesn't mean DeSantis hasn't still been doing some good things.

He has.

For example, he recently announced that the state's law enforcement had intercepted a vessel headed for Florida that was carrying dozens of Haitian migrants, as well as firearms, drugs, and night-vision gear.

"Our Florida Fish and Wildlife offices interdicted a vessel that had 25 illegal immigrants, potential illegal immigrants from Haiti in their boat. In their vessel they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks," DeSantis said.

He indicated that the incident had taken place within the last few weeks.

"That vessel was interdicted near the Sebastian Inlet and those illegal aliens were turned over to the Coast Guard for deportation," the governor added.
