SEBASTIAN, Fla. — Twenty-four Haitian migrants were intercepted off the Sebastian Inlet in at least the third migrant encounter federal agents said they've responded to recently in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast.
Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers said Fish and Wildlife Commission officers responded to a 42-foot Pathfinder in the Sebastian Inlet Thursday night.
"On the boat were men, women and children," Flowers said. "Two of the women claimed to be pregnant."
Body camera footage from his deputies showed people of all ages packed on the boat. Flowers said they were evaluated by Brevard County Fire Rescue and were in good condition.
