An investigation was underway in Florida after officers intercepted two vans that were transporting more than two dozen Chinese migrants. This comes just days after more than two dozen people were taken into custody in Coral Gables, Fla.
During China’s Covid lockdowns, a woman who had lived in a busy metropolitan area for most of her life and her then-husband quickly grew critical of the country’s “zero-Covid” policy.

The woman, who asked not to be identified for fear of further admonishment, didn’t take a typical route. Many migrants from China come to the U.S.
And that’s certainly happening right now at the Southwest border,” said Meissner, the former commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. “Typically during that kind of a period or following it, there will be efforts to find some other kinds of routes.” Under the new administration, questions remain over how newly arrived undocumented immigrants will be dealt with. Trump recently signed an executive action suspending asylum for those crossing through the southern border.
