U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement officers responded to the migrant landing, according to a statement posted on X by Jeffrey Dinise, chief patrol agent of the Miami sector. Five of the migrants came from China and 13 came from Ecuador.
The statement included a picture of a small boat in a canal.
The investigation is ongoing, Dinise said.
