Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Florida) announced on Friday that Florida Fish and Wildlife Officers apprehended a ship of Haitian potentially illegal immigrants attempting to smuggle drugs into the U.S.

“Officers interdicted a vessel that had 25 Illegal immigrants, potentially illegal immigrants from Haiti. In their boat, in their vessel they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear,” said Gov. DeSantis.

The report comes just days after DeSantis announced that he would be deploying the Florida National Guard to defend the state’s coastline ahead of an expected illegal mass migration from Haiti.

The Biden administration has admitted that it expects an influx of Haitian immigrants as their country has been taken over by a gang leader known as “Barbecue,” and allegations have arisen that cannibals have been running rampant through city streets.

While Haiti descends further into chaos, increasing numbers of Haitian citizens are expected to attempt to seek sanctuary in the United States.

As the Biden administration has failed to act to prevent the influx of Haitian criminals like the ones apprehended by Florida, states have been forced to defend their own borders despite federal opposition.

DeSantis’ decision to deploy the National Guard at his state’s cost mirrors the decision from Gov. Greg Abbot (R-Texas) to ignore federal rulings and deploy the Texas National Guard to defend Texas’s border with Mexico.

“Officers interdicted a vessel that had 25 Illegal immigrants” In not the proper descriptive: “Illegal aliens”?

Not one of these articles mention the fact that included with the 25 illegal migrants on board, the vessel operator and a passenger were BOTH U.S. citizens. THEY are the ones who had drugs, weapons and night vision goggles, not the migrants; the DeSantis and media narrative being that the poor migrants fleeing violence in their homeland were somehow coming to the US to commit acts of violence with the weapons, drugs and night vision goggles found on board.
