Amid a nationwide crackdown on known criminal aliens in the first days of President Donald Trump’s second arrival at the White House, police and federal agents have stumbled upon dozens of Chinese migrants in Coral Gables, Florida, and arrested at least four suspected smugglers from Cuba and another from Haiti.

Now local authorities are hoping that more resources from the state and federal government will help them protect the coastal enclave, just west of Miami.

The waterfront city has more coastline to protect than Miami Beach.

Police said a witness reported seeing a suspicious man shoving a woman into a Toyota Corolla parked near a U-Haul van. Responding officers, investigating the incident as a possible kidnapping, found 22 migrants in the van, most of them believed to be Chinese. They found three more migrants in the Toyota, from Ecuador and Brazil.

Investigators found it suspicious that they had valuables like phones and jewelry, but no typical items a tourist would carry, including luggage, spare clothes or sunscreen.

The migrants were taken to a U.S. Border Patrol facility.

Police arrested three Cuban nationals on suspicion of smuggling the migrants: Lucas Sedeno Rodriguez, 52, Jose Luis Villares, 55, and Keiner Cicilia Rodriguez, 39.

The migrants had all arrived via boat from the Bahamas, according to federal prosecutors.

Sedeno Rodriguez allegedly told investigators that he had been offered $5,000 from a contact named “Miggy” to pick up the migrants once they landed.

Police captured the group before it could reach the intended drop-off in Miami-Dade County, according to court documents.

Days later, another 911 caller in the same community reported seeing a large number of people coming ashore at a private marina, according to Coral Gables Police Chief Edward Hudak.

They climbed into two vans, which police pulled over down the road. Inside they found a group of 26 Chinese nationals.

Authorities arrested the drivers of both vans, identifying them as another Cuban and a Haitian. One of them had a gun, Hudak said.

It was not immediately clear whether both events were connected, but Hudak told reporters Tuesday that both groups of migrants came ashore in the same area, and police were monitoring the potential route from the Bahamas. 

The chief said they are working with local and federal agencies to monitor migrants coming ashore.

Illegal immigrants from China have increased in number dramatically over the past several years, Fox News Digital previously reported. 

Between the fiscal years of 2021 and 2024, they accounted for an increase of more than 8,000%. 

The spike comes as U.S. lawmakers are warning China’s influence in South and Central America and its rising tech industry pose national security threats.
