Gimenez Wants Answers Regarding 17 Chinese Nationals Apprehended in his District

Representative Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) has issued a statement after 17 Chinese nationals were apprehended in Florida’s 28th District, the area he represents in Washington.

The 17 Chinese nationals landed in Key Largo by boat. They were undocumented, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).

“Florida Highway Patrol and U.S. Border Agents detained 17 Chinese nationals after illegally making landfall in Key Largo - my district,” said Rep. Gimenez. “I’m proud to serve on the Armed Services Committee, Homeland Security Committee, and the new Select Committee on China and have requested additional information from all federal agencies involved. In Congress, I have fought the Biden Administration’s shortsighted border policies that have endangered our country and impacted our South Florida community.”

Moreover, the FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner mentioned that President Joe Biden (D) and his administration have “completely failed at border security.”
