Southwest Florida has become a major launching pad for smugglers bringing Cubans into the United States, according to authorities.
As a result, the Collier County sheriff's marine patrol of eight boats and eight deputies is being pressed into service to try to break up the human smuggling operations, Sheriff Don Hunter said.
The force has been bolstered with a $250,000 federal grant.
