The U.S. Coast Guard is increasing its presence in the waters off South Florida.
This comes in the wake of President Donald Trump鈥檚 executive orders aiming to curb illegal immigration.
The Coast Guard's acting commandant said in that all operational commanders have been ordered to 鈥渋mmediately surge assets" in what he calls key areas. That include boats, helicopters, planes and specialized teams.
Among the areas that will see the surge of Coast Guard activity are the southeast maritime border approaching Florida and the maritime borders between the Bahamas and South Florida.
