Location
Florida Keys
Cutter prows slice azure straits between sun-bleached keys, engines snarling to intercept fragile Haitian refugee boats in a dozen harrowing clashes. Salt spray stings the air as desperate hands reach from overloaded hulls toward forbidden sanctuary, palm fringes blurring against patrol lights that pierce the humid night. This ragged archipelago frontline hurls humanitarian urgency into Oval Office crosshairs, where policy collides with raw human peril.
