WAIKIKI (HawaiiNewsNow) -
Federal immigration officials are now investigating the fishing boat that ran aground with 20 people on board in Waikiki last week.
"We don't know who they were, where they are — at least I don't know — and it raises the question of, 'is this a human trafficking situation or something else that we need to deal with more aggressively,'” Bruce Anderson, Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Division of Aquatic Resources Administrator said.
