A Florida sheriff criticized the federal government after nearly 500 illegal immigrants landed in the Florida Keys over the course of the weekend.
Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay’s office described the situation as a “federal failure” because they were told Border Patrol couldn’t immediately respond due to a lack of federal resources, in a Monday Facebook post. Hundreds of illegal immigrants landings took place between Saturday and Monday, causing the Dry Tortugas National Park to shut down.

“Refugee arrivals require a lot of resources from the Sheriff’s Office as we help our federal law enforcement partners ensure the migrants are in good health and safe,” Sheriff Rick Ramsay said in the Facebook post. “Residents may see an increased amount of law enforcement and emergency responders throughout the county as we continue to respond to these landings.”
“This shows a lack of a working plan by the federal government to deal with a mass migration issue that was foreseeable,” Ramsay added.
