Florida: ‘See something, say something’ leads to discovery of U-Haul full of Chinese, other migrants

An example of “see something, say something” resulted in Florida police discovering unexpected cargo in the back of a moving van in the district of a representative balking on the border crisis.

Cracking down on illegal aliens in the country remained a top priority of President-elect Donald Trump with many expecting action as soon as the day after his inauguration.

Speaking at a press conference, Coral Gables Police Chief Edward James Hudak Jr. explained that a security guard for a local homeowners association had spotted a person being loaded into the van and contacted police believing an abduction was in progress.
